# Infinite Flight Simulator vs Airplane Lander

Infinite Flight Simulator and Airplane Lander both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Infinite Flight Simulator's written reviews are positive against 24% of Airplane Lander's. Infinite Flight Simulator also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (28K vs 829). Airplane Lander's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, monetization model 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. Airplane Lander asks for nothing beyond the download.

Infinite Flight Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1.
