Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: SecondFloor at 60% against ARchi VR's 0%. SecondFloor also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 3). ARchi VR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (4.7 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. SecondFloor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days. ARchi VR asks for nothing beyond the download.
ARchi VR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecondFloor has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ARchi VR's written reviews are positive against 60% of SecondFloor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ARchi VR ships an update every 4 months, SecondFloor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
