Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Planes Control! at Free against Flick Golf!'s $0.99. Planes Control! also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.9) and update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months). Flick Golf!'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#115 vs unranked). On review sentiment, 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 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planes Control! has 6.8K ratings behind it against 256, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Flick Golf!'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

Flick Golf! ships an update every 7 months, Planes Control! monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
