# SquirrelWarz vs North Farm

The clearest difference is rating: North Farm at 4.7 against SquirrelWarz's 3.0. North Farm also leads on ratings volume (279 vs 5). SquirrelWarz's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. North Farm sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. SquirrelWarz asks for nothing beyond the download.

North Farm holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: North Farm has 279 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of SquirrelWarz's written reviews are positive against 44% of North Farm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SquirrelWarz ships an update every 2 months, North Farm every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
