Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: arre home at 3.5 against Third Reality's 2.2. Third Reality's advantage is review sentiment (12% vs 0%) and ratings volume (26 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
arre home holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Third Reality has 26 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Third Reality's written reviews are positive against 0% of arre home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
