Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Intesis AC Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intesis AC Cloud has 1.3K ratings behind it against 183, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Intesis AC Cloud's written reviews are positive against 37% of Arctic King's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Intesis AC Cloud ships an update every 3 months, Arctic King every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
