Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flight Simulator at 4.1 against FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator's 3.3. Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 370). FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 17%) and monetization model (freemium vs paid). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Flight Simulator sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flight Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Simulator has 4.6K ratings behind it against 370, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 17% of Flight Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FlyWings 2018 Flight Simulator ships an update every 2 weeks, Flight Simulator fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
