# My Arcade Center vs PathBloom

The clearest difference is ratings volume: My Arcade Center at 6.7K against PathBloom's 1. My Arcade Center also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Arcade Center sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and PathBloom sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PathBloom holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Arcade Center has 6.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

My Arcade Center ships an update fortnightly, PathBloom every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
