ARC vs Flourishing
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side โ with what reviewers say about each.
ARC
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app contains the visual puzzles of the ARC-AGI benchmark. Each puzzle follows a simple, hidden rule. Your task is to discover the rule and solve the puzzle. These are not tests of knowledge or memory. They are tests of fluid intelligence: the ability to reason and solve new problems. The ARC-AGI benchmark was created to provide a fair comparison between human and artificial intelligence. By using puzzles that do not rely on prior knowledge, it measures a machine's ability to learn and adapt. To date, no AI has been able to solve all of these puzzles. The app lets you engage with the very same problems researchers use, giving you a hands-on sense of what remains difficult for machines.
Flourishing
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app is meant to help you flourish. To flourish, you have to understand yourself and what it means to be human. Thus, we have courses taught by the greatest philosophers (Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, and others) and spiritual masters (Augustine, Aquinas, Chrysostom). To fully engage with what they are saying, you have to train your mind: to focus (meditation), to use logic (logic puzzles), and to hold complex ideas in your head (calculation, memory). To fully implement what they're saying, you need a system that will guide you to take the right actions at the right times (habits, deep work). Moreover, you need feedback (passions assessment, virtue assessment, examen, flourishing assessment, life satisfaction assessment, etc.) โ honest data on whether you're actually growing. And finally, it should be customized to who you are (psychometrically valid personality tests โ Big Five, HEXACO, plus temperament quiz and perhaps more). In short: Learn โ Courses from philosophers and spiritual masters Train โ Meditation, logic, calculation, memory Act โ Habits, deep work, fasting Reflect โ Passions, virtues, examen, flourishing, life satisfaction Know Yourself โ Personality assessments to personalize the path Most self-help apps give you the same behavioral science rehashed and then bottom out. The Good Life doesn't โ because the wisdom of Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas doesn't run out. There is always more to learn, more to practice, more to become.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Flourishing at 17.6 against ARC's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
