Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Air Assault at 55% against Air Support!'s 17%. Air Assault also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 12.0). Air Support!'s advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (11K vs 95). On price, 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
Both are free to download. Air Assault sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Air Support! sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Air Support! holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Support! has 11K ratings behind it against 95, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Air Assault's written reviews are positive against 17% of Air Support!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Air Assault ships an update every 2 months, Air Support! every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
