ArcSite's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (9.2K vs 19). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ArcSite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcSite has 9.2K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of ArcSite's written reviews are positive against 64% of FarmCommand's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ArcSite ships an update weekly, FarmCommand every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
