# Infinite Flight Simulator vs Flight Simulator 2d

The clearest difference is ads: Infinite Flight Simulator at none against Flight Simulator 2d's shown. Infinite Flight Simulator also leads on chart position (#14 vs unranked) and ratings volume (28K vs 3.7K). Flight Simulator 2d's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 Flight Simulator 2d sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight Simulator 2d holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Flight Simulator has 28K ratings behind it against 3.7K, 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 61% of Flight Simulator 2d'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 Simulator 2d every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
