# 4 vs ARBA

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 4 at 75% against ARBA's 33%. 4 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months). ARBA's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (387 vs 13). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARBA sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. 4 asks for nothing beyond the download.

ARBA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARBA has 387 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of 4's written reviews are positive against 33% of ARBA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

4 ships an update every 2 months, ARBA every 12 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
