# Archi vs modello*

The clearest difference is rating: modello* at 5.0 against Archi's 4.2. modello* also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Archi's advantage is ratings volume (16 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Archi sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and modello* sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $24.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

modello* holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Archi has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Archi ships an update fortnightly, modello* every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
