# iScape vs Aris

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Aris at 100% against iScape's 24%. Aris also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). iScape's advantage is ratings volume (29K vs 30) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). On price, ads, 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 Aris sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $39.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Aris holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iScape has 29K ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 24% of iScape's written reviews are positive against 100% of Aris's.

iScape ships an update every 3 weeks, Aris every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
