# Arachnifiles vs LabelBug

The clearest difference is rating: LabelBug at 5.0 against Arachnifiles's 3.9. Arachnifiles's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arachnifiles sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and LabelBug sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LabelBug holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arachnifiles has 97 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Arachnifiles ships an update every 3 weeks, LabelBug fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
