Shopping for Microsoft Flight Simulator addons has never been more convenient. FS Addon Compare, the price aggregation tool simmers have relied on to find the best deals across major stores (we’ve talked about it before), has just released a browser extension that brings all of that comparison magic directly to your favorite storefronts.
No more bouncing between tabs or manually checking prices across SimMarket, Orbx, iniBuilds, or the Marketplace. The extension drops a discreet panel into supported stores, showing you prices from multiple vendors at a glance, right where you’re browsing.
The FS Addon Compare browser extension works on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and integrates seamlessly with all the major addon stores: SimMarket, iniBuilds, Orbx, Contrail, Aerosoft, Flightsim.com, Just Flight, Flightsim.to, and even the MSFS Marketplace.
As you browse an addon page, a floating panel pops up with:
- Live prices from all supported stores.
- Best Price and On Sale badges for quick identification.
- ICAO codes, user ratings, and supported MSFS versions (2020 or 2024).
- A “More Details” button linking to the addon’s page on FS Addon Compare.
- A “Show Similar” button to help you discover related addons.
Prices are shown in USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, or CAD, depending on your location. And if you’re an FSA (Flight Simulation Association) member, the extension even flags exclusive discounts where available.
By integrating directly into your shopping flow, the extension means you’re less likely to miss a great deal, or overpay for an addon already discounted elsewhere.
The extension is free to install and works out of the box:
Once installed, just visit any supported store and watch the comparison panel appear automatically.
So next time you’re eyeing a new aircraft or scenery, you won’t have to wonder if it’s cheaper somewhere else. The extension has already done the legwork for you. A must-have!
