ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aria2 Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aria2 Manager has 58 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Aria2 Manager's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aria2Server's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Aria2 Manager ships an update every 2 weeks, Aria2Server weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
