# CraftLab vs [AR]T

The clearest difference is rating: [AR]T at 5.0 against CraftLab's 3.9. [AR]T also leads on ads (none vs shown). CraftLab's advantage is ratings volume (697 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CraftLab sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and [AR]T sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

[AR]T holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CraftLab has 697 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
