# Night Flight Plus vs Cruel World

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cruel World at none against Night Flight Plus's 2. Cruel World also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Night Flight Plus's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Night Flight Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Cruel World asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cruel World holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 786 and 929 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Night Flight Plus's written reviews are positive against 20% of Cruel World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Night Flight Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, Cruel World every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
