Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pilot Ace at none against Gunship Sequel's 10. Pilot Ace also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Gunship Sequel's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (14K vs 21). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Gunship Sequel holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gunship Sequel has 14K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pilot Ace's written reviews are positive against 79% of Gunship Sequel's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pilot Ace ships an update every 3 months, Gunship Sequel every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 29, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
