Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flight Sim 2024 at Free against VR Flight Simulator Pro's $1.99. Flight Sim 2024 also leads on rating (4.2 vs 2.7) and review sentiment (66% vs 29%). VR Flight Simulator Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
