Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Arcade Fire at none against Concert Archives's 4. Arcade Fire also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 59%). Concert Archives's advantage is ratings volume (989 vs 20) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Concert Archives holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Concert Archives has 989 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Concert Archives's written reviews are positive against 86% of Arcade Fire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
