# Fighter Pilot vs Sky Combat 2

Fighter Pilot and Sky Combat 2 both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of Sky Combat 2's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fighter Pilot's. Sky Combat 2 also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Fighter Pilot's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 79). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fighter Pilot sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Sky Combat 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Fighter Pilot against 4.6 for Sky Combat 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fighter Pilot has 3K ratings behind it against 79, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Fighter Pilot's written reviews are positive against 71% of Sky Combat 2's.

Fighter Pilot ships an update every 2 months, Sky Combat 2 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
