# iLearnPhysics vs Physics Lab AR

The clearest difference is rating: Physics Lab AR at 4.7 against iLearnPhysics's 3.5. Physics Lab AR also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 51 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 11). iLearnPhysics's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 47%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iLearnPhysics sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Physics Lab AR sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Physics Lab AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Lab AR has 1.8K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of iLearnPhysics's written reviews are positive against 47% of Physics Lab AR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iLearnPhysics ships an update every 51 months, Physics Lab AR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
