Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Infinite Flight Simulator at 4.3 against Genius Mechanic's 3.7. Infinite Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). Genius Mechanic's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
