# GeoFS vs Flight Simulator

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.

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.

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