Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Farming Simulator 14 at Free against Farming Simulator 20's $4.99. Farming Simulator 14 also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). Farming Simulator 20's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and chart position (#36 vs unranked). On review sentiment, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Farming Simulator 20 holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.8K and 8.9K respectively.
