Also worth comparing

These listings name ForeFlight as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

    FreeProprietaryWeb

    ForeFlight adds weather, charts and a logbook in an iPad and iPhone app plus web access, but it requires a paid subscription instead of SkyVector's free browser planner.
