# AR vs Physics AI

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AR at 100% against Physics AI's 25%. AR also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AR sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Physics AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AR ships an update every 8 days, Physics AI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
