Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flight Simulator at 4.1 against Flight Simulator Pilot Games's 3.0. Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 2). Flight Simulator Pilot Games's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
