# AR Plan vs CutList Optimizer

The clearest difference is rating: AR Plan at 4.4 against CutList Optimizer's 4.2. AR Plan also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 114). CutList Optimizer's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AR Plan sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and CutList Optimizer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AR Plan holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AR Plan has 1.4K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of AR Plan's written reviews are positive against 45% of CutList Optimizer's.

AR Plan ships an update every 3 weeks, CutList Optimizer every 8 days. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
