Flighty is widely regarded as the best flight tracker app — but it's iOS only and costs $49.99 per year. Android users and anyone who prefers a web-based solution need an alternative.
AlphaFlights is a free, web-based flight tracker that works on any device. It offers live aircraft position, gate info, turbulence forecast, jet lag calculator, baggage claim info, on-time performance history, and airport lounge finder — all without a download or subscription.
Available on Android and iOS. Free tier with premium upgrade. Good push notifications and trip management.
Free Android app with solid US domestic coverage. Less polished than Flighty but reliable.
For Android users who want Flighty-level features for free, AlphaFlights is the strongest web-based alternative available in 2026.
