Flightaware vs faa

FlightAware
1

“If the FAA provides real-time flight data through SWIM, what additional benefits or features does a subscription to FlightAware offer that FAA data does not provide?”

This question can help me understand what unique value FlightAware brings to the table, such as global coverage, data enrichment, or advanced analytics, which might justify the subscription cost.

And also someone told me that faa has coverage only over USA is it true ?

FAA SWIM data only provides coverage of flights in or near US airspace that are tracked by ATC.

FlightAware is a data aggregator that incorporates FAA SWIM data, many other airline feeds, space-based ADS-B, terrestrial ADS-B network receivers, world-wide flight schedules, datalink feeds, and several other feeds together. We also use machine-learning to improve the accuracy of the predicted arrival times of flights.
