At least for FR24 you get a "Gold" account (no longer business) simply for running a feed.

  Nitpick: It's called Contributor and supposedly has the same features of the previous subscription. It still feels like a setup for future degradation by some marketing genius.

    Yup, nothing changes now, but I'd pretty confidently place bets that the tier will have reduced features compared to the "Business" tier (or whatever it's called now)

In case anyone isn't aware: https://globe.adsbexchange.com https://globe.adsbexchange.com – is an alternative to FlightRadar24 with more data.

  Unfortunately adsbexchange does not allow you to see the source/destination of flights

      The inscrutable buttons in their UI are terrible for mobile/tablet access. I wish the discoverability was better

  ADSBX used to be volunteer ran until JETNET paid the guy who controlled the domain name $20 million dollars to "sell" it to them and steal everyone else's source code and data. They now do selective filtering to appease their commercial clients. Everyone has moved to https://globe.airplanes.live/ https://globe.airplanes.live/ and https://app.airframes.io/flights https://app.airframes.io/flights now. Here is the lawsuit from one former group of contributors: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23963235-golden-hammer-v-jetnet-et-al/ https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23963235-golden-hamm...

    Yeah that really sucked. It was a great volunteer platform and I was sad the guy sold out. It didn't filter anything. Not rich guys' jets, not military etc. The community never really recovered. The airplanes.live one doesn't have as many feeders and the airframes.io is hidden behind a login. I was hoping the community would simply move in unison to a new platform just like what happened when freenode got ruined. But it seems to have kinda fallen apart. Especially the MLAT abilities (receiving traditional transponders pre-ADS-B) was really cool but it really needs a lot of feeders to be able to pinpoint them.

      How do airplanes.live and airframes.io compare to FlightRadar24? I've only ever used the latter.
