Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RemoteFlight LITE at none against SIM's 24. RemoteFlight LITE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). SIM's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 64 months) and ratings volume (445 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SIM sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. RemoteFlight LITE asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RemoteFlight LITE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SIM has 445 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of RemoteFlight LITE's written reviews are positive against 43% of SIM's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RemoteFlight LITE ships an update every 64 months, SIM every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
