# AR vs MiniYou3D

The clearest difference is ads: AR at none against MiniYou3D's shown. AR also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). MiniYou3D's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and MiniYou3D sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for AR against 5.0 for MiniYou3D. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AR has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AR ships an update every 3 months, MiniYou3D every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
