ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Milthm holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Milthm has 275 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of ArcCreate's written reviews are positive against 92% of Milthm's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
