Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arena Cloud at 4.4 against Balkaniyum's 2.1. Arena Cloud also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (883 vs 75). Balkaniyum's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arena Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arena Cloud has 883 ratings behind it against 75, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Balkaniyum's written reviews are positive against 16% of Arena Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Balkaniyum ships an update every 4 months, Arena Cloud every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
