# Flight Simulator 2d vs Ultimate Racing 2D 2!

The clearest difference is rating: Flight Simulator 2d at 4.7 against Ultimate Racing 2D 2!'s 4.4. Flight Simulator 2d also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 189). Ultimate Racing 2D 2!'s advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 61%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Simulator 2d sells 16 one-off in-app purchases and Ultimate Racing 2D 2! sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight Simulator 2d holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Simulator 2d has 3.7K ratings behind it against 189, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Flight Simulator 2d's written reviews are positive against 76% of Ultimate Racing 2D 2!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flight Simulator 2d ships an update every 2 weeks, Ultimate Racing 2D 2! every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
