Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Are.na holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Are.na has 339 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Are.na's written reviews are positive against 100% of TORO Movers Network's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
