# Farm Progress vs Pro Farmer

The clearest difference is rating: Pro Farmer at 4.5 against Farm Progress's 1.0. Pro Farmer also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 2). Farm Progress's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 63%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Pro Farmer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Farmer has 1.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Farm Progress's written reviews are positive against 63% of Pro Farmer'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 every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
