Verdict

The call

Arc and Quick Share both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 38% of Arc's written reviews are positive against 7% of Quick Share's. Arc also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). Quick Share's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 175) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arc sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Quick Share sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Quick Share holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Quick Share has 2.6K ratings behind it against 175, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Arc's written reviews are positive against 7% of Quick Share's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Arc ships an update every 2 days, Quick Share every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
