# Infinite Flight Simulator vs Flight Sim

The clearest difference is rating: Infinite Flight Simulator at 4.3 against Flight Sim's 3.2. Infinite Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). Flight Sim's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (83% vs 72%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infinite Flight Simulator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Flight Sim asks for nothing beyond the download.

Infinite Flight Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Flight Simulator has 28K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Infinite Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 83% of Flight Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Infinite Flight Simulator ships an update fortnightly, Flight Sim every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
