Flighty is widely regarded as the strongest consumer flight tracker available, built around live status, early delay warnings and gate changes on the day you travel. Miles Mosaic operates on a completely different clock: it is where you look to see whether a year of those flights is adding up to the elite tier you want. One tool is measured in minutes, the other in qualification deadlines. That is why they coexist rather than compete.

How they fit together
These tools solve different jobs. Here's the honest read on which one does what.
When Miles Mosaic is the right choice
Miles Mosaic answers the annual question: will I make Gold this year, when does my Marriott Titanium expire, and which programme deserves the next trip. It tracks 31 loyalty programmes, 24 airline and 7 hotel, plus 8 transferable point currencies, each under its own 2026 earning rules and tier thresholds, because qualifying activity is not fungible between programmes. A tracker that adds everything into one number cannot tell you the thing you need to know, which is whether a specific tier in a specific programme will renew before its deadline. You provide the data rather than an account connection: log a flight or stay, enter membership numbers, or import a CSV of past activity. The engine projects each programme forward and flags the ones genuinely at risk, so a shortfall surfaces while there is still time to act on it rather than in January when nothing can be done. There is no inbox parsing and no account linking, and we never ask for or store loyalty passwords. Miles Mosaic is a responsive web app and PWA, with no native app, and it does no live flight tracking and no award booking. Explorer is free permanently, and Pro is $14.99 per month.
When Flighty is the right choice
Flighty answers the day-of question: is my flight delayed, has the gate moved, will I make the connection, and should I start rebooking now rather than in the queue at the desk. It does this by pulling from aviation data feeds rather than only from the airline's own app, which is why it frequently knows about a delay before the airline announces one. Public aviation data infrastructure such as the FAA's System Wide Information Management feeds is what makes that class of early warning possible at all, and building a polished consumer experience on top of it is genuinely difficult work. Flighty is a native Apple-platform product with a subscription for its fuller feature set, so check their site for current tiers. None of that overlaps with loyalty tracking. Flighty will tell you that you landed; it is not trying to tell you whether that segment earned enough qualifying activity to renew your tier. Running both is not redundancy, it is covering two different failure modes: missing a connection, and missing requalification.
Who Flighty suits, and who it does not
The short version, before the detail below. We would rather send you to the right tool than win a signup you regret.
Flighty is a good fit for
- Travellers who want to know about a delay or gate change before the airline gets round to announcing it
- People on Apple devices who value a polished native app with live activities and watch support on travel days
- Anyone whose main pain is the day of travel rather than the shape of the year
Flighty is a poor fit for
- Anyone whose question is whether this year's flying will renew a specific elite tier
- Travellers tracking hotel programmes and transferable currencies alongside airline status
- People who want one app to cover both the travel day and annual loyalty planning, because neither product attempts that
Frequently asked
Do I really need both?
If you fly often, most likely yes, because they fail in different places. Flighty covers the travel day, where the cost of not knowing is a missed connection. Miles Mosaic covers the year, where the cost of not knowing is discovering in January that you finished just short of requalifying.
Will Miles Mosaic add live flight tracking?
No. Flighty has solved that problem well and we would rather not ship a weaker version of it. Miles Mosaic does surface upcoming trips and status impact, but it is not a real-time alerting product and is not trying to become one.
Does Miles Mosaic need to read my email to know I flew?
No. There is no inbox parsing and no account linking anywhere in the product. You log the flight, import a CSV, or enter the activity yourself, and we never ask for or store loyalty passwords.

How we compare
Claims about Flighty on this page reflect its publicly available documentation, features and pricing as last checked on . We compare on the dimensions that matter for cross-programme loyalty tracking: what each tool tracks, how it obtains your data, elite-status forecasting, pricing, and the privacy and credential model. We do not exhaustively test every paid feature of competing products, and programmes change their terms, so confirm current details on each provider's own site. This page is updated when a competitor changes its public terms.
This page describes Flighty from its publicly documented purpose and platform positioning on flighty.com, and Miles Mosaic from its own product behaviour. We have not quoted Flighty's subscription pricing or enumerated its feature tiers, because both change and a stale figure would mislead. Confirm current details on their site.
