Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ARC Intel at free with in-app purchases against ArcMate's subscription. ARC Intel also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). ArcMate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
