Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Arabica at 4.9 against itea's 3.0. Arabica also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 2). itea's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Arabica holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arabica has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of itea's written reviews are positive against 37% of Arabica's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

itea ships an update every 5 days, Arabica every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
