# Arc Cycle vs TEMPER

The clearest difference is rating: Arc Cycle at 5.0 against TEMPER's 4.3. Arc Cycle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). TEMPER's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arc Cycle sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TEMPER sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arc Cycle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TEMPER has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Arc Cycle ships an update every 2 days, TEMPER every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
