Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Avion Flight Simulator ™ at Free against RFS's $0.99. Avion Flight Simulator ™ also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). RFS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 24 months). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
