# Aviation Exam vs Flight School Apps

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Aviation Exam at 498 against Flight School Apps's 2. Flight School Apps's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Aviation Exam sells 30 one-off in-app purchases and Flight School Apps sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flight School Apps holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aviation Exam has 498 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Aviation Exam's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flight School Apps's.

Aviation Exam ships an update every 2 months, Flight School Apps fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
