Which one should you pick ?
Personally, I don’t think that the Go New York Pass is better or worse than the Sightseeing Flex Pass or the FreeStyle Pass. You’d rather consider which pass offers the activities you want to do.
After revising the activities, keep in mind that the SightSeeing FlexPass is valid for 7 days, The FreeStyle is valid for 14 days, and the Go New York Pass is valid for 30 days.
If you’re visiting New York for the first time and staying for a week, the New York City Pass is really worth it since it includes 7 of the most famous and interesting attractions in NY but,
– if you’re staying in New York City for fewer days, the SightSeeing FlexPass or the FreeStyle Pass could better suits you,
– if you want to have more choices and more time to make your visits, the Go New York Pass is a valid option,
At the end, the best tip is to look at the rates according to what you’re planning to visit.
Conclusion
It all depends on your budget and taste!
If you know what you want to visit, an “à la carte” Pass is a great option. Compare the rates paying at the gate vs the rate of each passes. Tell me if I can help you find the best pass!
The rates of the passes and activities/attractions can change, always check them on the official websites in the links provided above.

Visit New York City "à la carte" with the Go New York Pass, the SightSeeing Flex Pass, and the FreeStyle Pass

First, it will be better to plan an itinerary for your stay. I like hop-on hop-off bus tours, but for a 4-day stay, it may take you too much time as you can be stuck in traffic.
Here I have itineraries for a week: https://www.new-york-city-travel-tips.com/week-planning-visit-new-york-4-different-types-plan/. You can download and customize your own itinerary. I can also help you with that.
Then, once you have your itinerary, we can see all the activities and choose the best option for a pass.
Black Friday sales are next week, so it will give you time to make your itinerary and get your pass at its lowest rates 😉
