# Eugene's AR Wiki vs Planets AR

The clearest difference is update cadence: Eugene's AR Wiki at every 3 months against Planets AR's every 40 months. Eugene's AR Wiki also leads on ratings volume (503 vs 78) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Planets AR's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 76%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eugene's AR Wiki sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Planets AR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Eugene's AR Wiki holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eugene's AR Wiki has 503 ratings behind it against 78, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Eugene's AR Wiki's written reviews are positive against 86% of Planets AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Eugene's AR Wiki ships an update every 3 months, Planets AR every 40 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
