Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Flight Sim 2024 at 4.2 against X's 3.6. Flight Sim 2024 also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 37%) and ratings volume (766 vs 23). X's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
