Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ArcCreate at Free against Rotaeno's $1.49. ArcCreate also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and review sentiment (97% vs 79%). Rotaeno's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (264 vs 23). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ArcCreate is free to download; Rotaeno costs $1.49 up front. Rotaeno sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. ArcCreate asks for nothing beyond the download.
Rotaeno holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rotaeno has 264 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Rotaeno's written reviews are positive against 97% of ArcCreate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
