# Infinite Flight Simulator vs Plane Factory

Infinite Flight Simulator and Plane Factory both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Infinite Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 11% of Plane Factory's. Infinite Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (28K vs 450). Plane Factory's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence 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. Plane Factory asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Infinite Flight Simulator against 4.3 for Plane Factory. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Flight Simulator has 28K ratings behind it against 450, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Infinite Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 11% of Plane Factory's.
