Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AUGmentecture at 60% against ARchi VR's 0%. AUGmentecture also leads on ratings volume (23 vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ARchi VR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AUGmentecture has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of AUGmentecture's written reviews are positive against 0% of ARchi VR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AUGmentecture ships an update every 2 months, ARchi VR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
