# Infinite Flight Simulator vs OptiFlight

The clearest difference is rating: OptiFlight at 4.6 against Infinite Flight Simulator's 4.3. OptiFlight also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Infinite Flight Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 1.3K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infinite Flight Simulator sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and OptiFlight sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OptiFlight holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Flight Simulator has 28K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of Infinite Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 80% of OptiFlight's.

Infinite Flight Simulator ships an update fortnightly, OptiFlight every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
