# Enigmo vs Planes Control!

The clearest difference is price: Planes Control! at Free against Enigmo's $1.99. Planes Control! also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 127) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Enigmo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#184 vs unranked). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Planes Control! is free to download; Enigmo costs $1.99 up front. Enigmo sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Planes Control! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Planes Control! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planes Control! has 7K ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Enigmo's written reviews are positive against 79% of Planes Control!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Enigmo ships an update every 2 months, Planes Control! monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
