Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hamster Flight Simulator at none against Flight Simulator's 12. Hamster Flight Simulator also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Flight Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (4.6K vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Simulator sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Hamster Flight Simulator asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for Flight Simulator against 4.0 for Hamster Flight Simulator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Simulator has 4.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
