# iScape vs ARKitchen Kitchen Design

The clearest difference is ads: ARKitchen Kitchen Design at none against iScape's shown. ARKitchen Kitchen Design also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). iScape's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 501) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iScape sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and ARKitchen Kitchen Design sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iScape holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iScape has 29K ratings behind it against 501, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of iScape's written reviews are positive against 27% of ARKitchen Kitchen Design's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iScape ships an update every 3 weeks, ARKitchen Kitchen Design every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
