Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Halo AR at 4.6 against DEVAR's 4.0. Halo AR also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 31%) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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. DEVAR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Halo AR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Halo AR holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Halo AR has 364 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of DEVAR's written reviews are positive against 70% of Halo AR's.
DEVAR ships an update every 2 months, Halo AR fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
