# TAKUMI³ vs ArcCreate

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ArcCreate at 97% against TAKUMI³'s 62%. ArcCreate also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). TAKUMI³'s advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (339 vs 23). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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.
