Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arbiter at 4.4 against ZebraWeb's 3.0. Arbiter also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 88) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arbiter holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arbiter has 1.1K ratings behind it against 88, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of ZebraWeb's written reviews are positive against 31% of Arbiter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ZebraWeb ships an update monthly, Arbiter fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
