Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Physics Lab AR at Free against iPhysics™ Pro's $2.99. Physics Lab AR also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.1) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 19). iPhysics™ Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On review sentiment, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Physics Lab AR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Physics Lab AR has 1.8K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of iPhysics™ Pro's written reviews are positive against 48% of Physics Lab AR's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iPhysics™ Pro ships an update every 7 months, Physics Lab AR every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
