Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Part 107 at 4.6 against SimuDrone's 4.0. Part 107 also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 247). SimuDrone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (36% vs 25%). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. SimuDrone sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Part 107 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Part 107 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 247 and 1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of SimuDrone's written reviews are positive against 25% of Part 107's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SimuDrone ships an update every 3 months, Part 107 monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
