Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Planes Control! at Free against iSlash's $0.99. Planes Control! also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (6.8K vs 573). iSlash's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (94% vs 79%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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 6.8K ratings behind it against 573, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of iSlash'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iSlash ships an update every 2 months, Planes Control! monthly. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
