Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Fly Plane at 4.3 against New York Flight Simulator's 3.2. Fly Plane also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 396) and update cadence (every 8 months vs every 22 months). New York Flight Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fly Plane sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and New York Flight Simulator sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Fly Plane holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fly Plane has 13K ratings behind it against 396, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 32% and 31% positive.
Fly Plane ships an update every 8 months, New York Flight Simulator every 22 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
