# Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! vs Flight Sim

The clearest difference is rating: Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! at 4.6 against Flight Sim's 3.2. Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (53K vs 13). Flight Sim's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (83% vs 73%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Flight Sim asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! has 53K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Flight Pilot Simulator 3D!'s written reviews are positive against 83% of Flight Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flight Pilot Simulator 3D! ships an update every 4 days, Flight Sim every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
