# Seaplane vs Dubai Flight Simulator Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Dubai Flight Simulator Pro at 5.0 against Seaplane's 4.3. Dubai Flight Simulator Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 21 months). Seaplane's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 26%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Seaplane sells 19 one-off in-app purchases and Dubai Flight Simulator Pro sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dubai Flight Simulator Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Seaplane has 79 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Seaplane'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.

Seaplane ships an update every 21 months, Dubai Flight Simulator Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
