Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dubai Flight Simulator Pro at 5.0 against X's 4.2. Dubai Flight Simulator Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). X's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dubai Flight Simulator Pro sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. X asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dubai Flight Simulator Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of X's written reviews are positive against 26% of Dubai Flight Simulator Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

X ships an update every 5 months, Dubai Flight Simulator Pro every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
