# Scenery vs Placy AR

The clearest difference is monetization model: Placy AR at free with in-app purchases against Scenery's subscription. Placy AR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Scenery's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scenery sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and Placy AR sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Placy AR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scenery has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 97% of Scenery's written reviews are positive against 100% of Placy AR's.

Scenery ships an update every 2 weeks, Placy AR fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
