Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Infinite Flight Simulator at none against Airport City Manager Simulator's shown. Infinite Flight Simulator also leads on review sentiment (72% vs 41%) and chart position (#17 vs unranked). Airport City Manager Simulator's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence 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 Airport City Manager Simulator sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Airport City Manager Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 28K and 60K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Infinite Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 41% of Airport City Manager Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Infinite Flight Simulator ships an update fortnightly, Airport City Manager Simulator monthly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
