Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ArcaneGuard at freemium against Web Cleaner's subscription. ArcaneGuard also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.5). Web Cleaner's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
