Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OptiFlight at none against Flight Simulator 2025's shown. OptiFlight also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 57%). Flight Simulator 2025's advantage is ratings volume (37K vs 1.3K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
