Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Blueair holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blueair has 23K ratings behind it against 610, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Blueair's written reviews are positive against 54% of LARQ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blueair ships an update every 3 weeks, LARQ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
