# Farming Simulator 18 vs Conquer Countries

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Farming Simulator 18 at 74% against Conquer Countries's 31%. Farming Simulator 18 also leads on chart position (#107 vs unranked). Conquer Countries's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (79K vs 2.5K). 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 Conquer Countries sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Conquer Countries holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Conquer Countries has 79K 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 31% of Conquer Countries'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, Conquer Countries monthly. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
