Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SkyPilot at 3.0 against New York Flight Simulator Pro's 2.0. SkyPilot also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 34 months). New York Flight Simulator Pro's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SkyPilot holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyPilot has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of New York Flight Simulator Pro's written reviews are positive against 25% of SkyPilot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

New York Flight Simulator Pro ships an update every 34 months, SkyPilot weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
