# Arcadium vs 4trees

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 4trees at 100% against Arcadium's 60%. 4trees also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). Arcadium's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (23 vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arcadium sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 4trees asks for nothing beyond the download.

Arcadium holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arcadium has 23 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Arcadium's written reviews are positive against 100% of 4trees's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Arcadium ships an update every 3 months, 4trees every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
