Comparison
What a pre-flight tool should cost.
Threshold is not a certified EFB and does not try to be one. If you need approach-certified navigation and synthetic vision, buy ForeFlight — it is excellent. If you need to know whether to go, this is cheaper.

Competitor pricing as published at time of writing and subject to change. Comparison is for orientation, not a claim of equivalence — the last three rows are the honest reasons to buy something else.
Why 30 days and not 7. Most pilots do not fly every week. A seven-day trial can easily expire before the weather cooperates, which means you would be judging a pre-flight tool without ever using it before a flight. Thirty days is long enough to actually try it.
