Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CakeCost sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Farmish sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Farmish holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 29 and 25 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of CakeCost's written reviews are positive against 48% of Farmish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
