# Node Runner vs CT Farm

The clearest difference is rating: CT Farm at 4.0 against Node Runner's 3.3. CT Farm also leads on ratings volume (632 vs 3). Node Runner's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CT Farm sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Node Runner asks for nothing beyond the download.

CT Farm holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CT Farm has 632 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Node Runner's written reviews are positive against 26% of CT Farm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Node Runner ships an update every 3 days, CT Farm weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
