# Infinite Flight Simulator vs Aviateur

The clearest difference is rating: Aviateur at 4.7 against Infinite Flight Simulator's 4.3. Aviateur also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Infinite Flight Simulator's advantage is ratings volume (28K vs 106) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, 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 Aviateur sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Aviateur 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 106, 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 87% of Aviateur's.

Infinite Flight Simulator ships an update fortnightly, Aviateur every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
