Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Planes Control! at Free against iBomber's $2.99. Planes Control! also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 24). iBomber's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Planes Control! is free to download; iBomber costs $2.99 up front. iBomber sells 1 one-off in-app purchase 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 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planes Control! has 6.8K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of iBomber'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.
iBomber ships an update every 2 months, Planes Control! monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
