# Equiscribe vs FarmKeep

The clearest difference is ratings volume: FarmKeep at 246 against Equiscribe's 4. FarmKeep also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Equiscribe's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Equiscribe sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $99.99 per year and FarmKeep sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Equiscribe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FarmKeep has 246 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Equiscribe's written reviews are positive against 87% of FarmKeep's.

Equiscribe ships an update every 5 weeks, FarmKeep every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
