Verdict
In truth, Expert Flyer and FlightSeats.io serve slightly different purposes. Expert Flyer is focussed on general flight information, with features such as flight status and aircraft change updates.
FlightSeats.io is focussed on reward redemptions, particularly on the Qantas and Virgin Velocity programs.
FlightSeats.io doesn't have seat alerts and flight status updates, but does have a number of tools focused specifically on the Qantas and Virgin Velocity programs.
These include a Where Can I Go interactive map tool, Chrome extension, oneworld reward finder, Qantas status run tool and Qantas Platinum reward request tool.
Both tools have flight load and seat map checking.
While both have their place, the right one for you will depend on your needs.
