Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pilot! at 76% against Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D's 14%. Pilot! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 8 months). Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and rating (3.6 vs 3.2). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D has 4.8K ratings behind it against 747, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Pilot!'s written reviews are positive against 14% of Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pilot! ships an update every 3 months, Airplane Pilot Flight Sim 3D every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
