# CropBytes Farm vs EXTOCIUM

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CropBytes Farm at none against EXTOCIUM's 5. CropBytes Farm also leads on ratings volume (263 vs 4) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). EXTOCIUM's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (75% vs 57%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EXTOCIUM sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. CropBytes Farm asks for nothing beyond the download.

CropBytes Farm holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CropBytes Farm has 263 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of CropBytes Farm's written reviews are positive against 75% of EXTOCIUM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CropBytes Farm ships an update monthly, EXTOCIUM every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on June 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
