Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ARchi VR ships an update every 4 months, SecondFloor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
