Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Raha at 4.3 against Arco's 2.0. Raha also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 66) and iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.0). Arco's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
