# Farming Simulator 16 vs Truck Simulator

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Truck Simulator at 245K against Farming Simulator 16's 4.2K. Truck Simulator also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Farming Simulator 16's advantage is chart position (#180 vs unranked) and review sentiment (62% vs 51%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Farming Simulator 16 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Truck Simulator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Truck Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Truck Simulator has 245K ratings behind it against 4.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Farming Simulator 16's written reviews are positive against 51% of Truck Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Farming Simulator 16 ships an update monthly, Truck Simulator fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
