Stellarium vs starry night pro

[neurostar]

I know there was a thread about this from a few years ago but I wasn't sure if the info changed as technology rapidly does.

I have both stellarium and starry night pro (was given to me by an awesome professor).

I'm guessing starry night pro is better because of the obvious price difference.

But what exactly are the main advantages?

I have no idea to when I will be able to buy a telescope. Will starry night still be more useful for the time being when I am without a telescope?

thanks!!

Primary difference is that StarryNight has bigger object database at start, and it is updated often via the net.
