# Flight Simulator vs Cloud Crew

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cloud Crew at 91% against Flight Simulator's 39%. Cloud Crew also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Flight Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (760 vs 57). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per 7 days. Cloud Crew asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cloud Crew holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1.
