# Concert Archives vs Arcade Fire

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.

Both are free to download. Concert Archives sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Arcade Fire asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.
