Your AI instructor, your way

We now offer two ways to access SimInstructor.AI. Pick the model that fits how you fly - or try everything with a free 24-hour trial. No credit card required.

Our Story

When we started SimInstructor, we built it the way we'd want to buy software ourselves: pay once, own it forever. No monthly fees, no surprise charges. You know exactly what you're getting.

But as our library grew past a dozen AI models for different aircraft - and we keep adding at least two new ones every month - we heard from a lot of pilots who said: "I fly a dozen different aircraft. I don't want to buy them one at a time - can I just get access to everything?"

Fair point. So we added subscriptions - but we made a promise to ourselves: we'd never take away the one-time purchase option. It's not "subscribe or leave." It's "pick what works for you."

One-Time Purchase

Perfect if you know what you want. Buy the aircraft you fly most, own them permanently, and never think about it again. All future AI updates for those aircraft are included forever.

• Pay once, own forever - no recurring charges, ever
• Lifetime AI model updates - your purchased aircraft stay current
• Pick exactly what you want - buy only the aircraft you fly
• From $19.95 - basic package with general AI

Subscription

Access our entire fleet for one monthly price. No picking, no credits - just fly whatever you want. New AI models automatically appear in your library as we release them.

• Access all qualifying aircraft - 12+ released and growing every month
• New content included automatically - at least 2 new aircraft every month
• Cancel anytime - no commitment, no cancellation fees
• From $6.99/mo - Essentials plan for MSFS pilots

Your purchases are always yours

Already bought something? It's yours forever - even if you later subscribe and cancel. We'll never take away access to what you've purchased.

Common Questions

Can I switch from one-time purchase to a subscription later?

Absolutely. Your one-time purchases remain yours forever. If you later subscribe, you'll get access to everything else on top of what you already own.

If I cancel my subscription, do I lose everything?

You lose access to subscription-only AI models, but any models you purchased individually are still yours permanently.

Is the free trial the same for both options?

Yes - the 24-hour free trial gives you full access to the general AI instructor regardless of which pricing model you choose.

What's the difference between Essentials and Premium subscriptions?

Essentials gives you unlimited access to all non-military MSFS AI models. Premium adds military aircraft, DCS World, X-Plane, and multi-language support.

Will one-time purchase ever go away?

No. We've committed to always offering one-time purchases alongside subscriptions. You'll never be forced to subscribe.
