Flightradar24 is the more customizable of the two, and while FlightAware says it tracks more flights, it lacks options like showing planes on the ground. (There's also a third flight-tracking app and website, Planefinder, which looks and feels similar to Flightradar24 and has the same price for the premium version.)
Key features that make FlightAware a must-have for tracking private jets include: Comprehensive coverage: Gain access to live tracking of private jets as well as commercial, charter and general aviation aircraft. Global access: Find information on aircraft flying overhead and see worldwide airport activity.
The data displayed on FlightAware.com is typically 30 seconds delayed from real-time. Maps animate the aircraft position toward the last known position. An aircraft's position on the map may lag real-time by 1-2 minutes.
