The short version

  • Only Flightradar24 has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Flightradar24 premium tiers as captured in 2022 ranged from Silver at $1.49/month (90 days of flight history) to Business at $49.99/month (business licensing, fleet view, extra weather layers) (archive capture is from 2022, over three years old, so treat exact figures as dated; the tier structure and history-window caps are the more durable facts); AMOS pricing is by quote only, with no rate, minimum or named cost driver published; the routes to a price are ordering a brochure or booking a live demo through a contact form
  • They diverge on capability: Flightradar24 covers Real-time tracking, AMOS covers Maintenance planning.
