# ARvid Augmented Reality vs modello*

The clearest difference is rating: modello* at 5.0 against ARvid Augmented Reality's 4.6. modello* also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). ARvid Augmented Reality's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARvid Augmented Reality sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and modello* sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
