Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GeoFS at 60% against Flight Simulator's 18%. GeoFS also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Flight Simulator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GeoFS sells 2 one-off in-app purchases 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Simulator has 4.7K ratings behind it against 705, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of GeoFS's written reviews are positive against 18% of Flight Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GeoFS ships an update every 6 months, Flight Simulator fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
