Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: VRflow B737MAX at freemium against B737 MRG's subscription. VRflow B737MAX also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 81%). B737 MRG's advantage is ratings volume (292 vs 3) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. B737 MRG sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year and VRflow B737MAX sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
B737 MRG holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: B737 MRG has 292 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of B737 MRG's written reviews are positive against 100% of VRflow B737MAX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
B737 MRG ships an update monthly, VRflow B737MAX every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
