Both are free to download. Captains Idle sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Run Farm asks for nothing beyond the download.
Run Farm holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Run Farm has 606 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of Run Farm's written reviews are positive against 30% of Captains Idle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Run Farm ships an update every 6 days, Captains Idle every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
