# Flight Simulator 2d vs Juno

The clearest difference is rating: Flight Simulator 2d at 4.7 against Juno's 3.8. Flight Simulator 2d also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 327) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Simulator 2d sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Juno sells 4 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Simulator 2d has 4.7K ratings behind it against 327, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 61% and 62% positive.

Flight Simulator 2d ships an update every 2 weeks, Juno monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
