Prepware Commercial Pilot costs $9.99 and Flight Instructor Airplane $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Flight Instructor Airplane holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prepware Commercial Pilot has 35 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Prepware Commercial Pilot's written reviews are positive against 0% of Flight Instructor Airplane's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
