# Farming Simulator 16 vs Train Simulator PRO USA

Farming Simulator 16 and Train Simulator PRO USA both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 62% of Farming Simulator 16's written reviews are positive against 41% of Train Simulator PRO USA's. Farming Simulator 16 also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 349) and chart position (#164 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Farming Simulator 16 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Train Simulator PRO USA sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for Farming Simulator 16 against 4.3 for Train Simulator PRO USA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Farming Simulator 16 has 4.2K ratings behind it against 349, so its average is the more settled of the two.
