# Flick Golf! vs Planes Control!

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 (#119 vs unranked). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Planes Control! is free to download; Flick Golf! costs $0.99 up front. Flick Golf! 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 3.9. 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.

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.
