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. TAKUMI³ sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. ArcCreate asks for nothing beyond the download.
TAKUMI³ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TAKUMI³ has 339 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of TAKUMI³'s written reviews are positive against 97% of ArcCreate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TAKUMI³ ships an update every 4 days, ArcCreate every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
