Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Learn 2 Fly at 4.7 against Sisyphos's 4.2. Learn 2 Fly also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 371). Sisyphos's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (82% vs 60%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sisyphos sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Learn 2 Fly sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Learn 2 Fly holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn 2 Fly has 11K ratings behind it against 371, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Sisyphos's written reviews are positive against 60% of Learn 2 Fly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sisyphos ships an update every 2 months, Learn 2 Fly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
