# Annke Sight vs ARCCTV

The clearest difference is rating: ARCCTV at 4.4 against Annke Sight's 2.3. ARCCTV also leads on chart position (#141 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months). Annke Sight's advantage is review sentiment (44% vs 14%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Annke Sight sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $5.59 per month and ARCCTV sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $5.59 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ARCCTV holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 94 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Annke Sight's written reviews are positive against 14% of ARCCTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Annke Sight ships an update every 3 months, ARCCTV every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
