Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Starhaven at none against Turboprop Flight Simulator's shown. Starhaven also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Turboprop Flight Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 15) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
