# Unraid Deck vs Arr Control

The clearest difference is monetization model: Arr Control at free against Unraid Deck's free with in-app purchases. Arr Control also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.1). Unraid Deck's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unraid Deck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Arr Control sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arr Control holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unraid Deck has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
