Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ArcSite at 4.7 against iLivestock Software's 3.0. ArcSite also leads on ratings volume (9K vs 8) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). iLivestock Software's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 45%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ArcSite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcSite has 9K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of iLivestock Software's written reviews are positive against 45% of ArcSite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iLivestock Software ships an update every 2 weeks, ArcSite weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
