# Farming Simulator 18 vs Airborne Attack

The clearest difference is rating: Airborne Attack at 4.6 against Farming Simulator 18's 4.3. Airborne Attack also leads on ratings volume (67K vs 2.5K) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Farming Simulator 18's advantage is review sentiment (74% vs 60%) and chart position (#124 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Farming Simulator 18 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Airborne Attack sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Airborne Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airborne Attack has 67K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Farming Simulator 18's written reviews are positive against 60% of Airborne Attack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Farming Simulator 18 ships an update every 2 months, Airborne Attack monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
