Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ASAHOM at 71% against Trex AR's 6%. ASAHOM also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Trex AR's advantage is ratings volume (700 vs 9) and rating (3.9 vs 3.6). On price, update cadence, 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.
Trex AR holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trex AR has 700 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Trex AR's written reviews are positive against 71% of ASAHOM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trex AR ships an update every 5 months, ASAHOM every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
