# iPhysics™ Pro vs Physics Lab AR

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.

Physics Lab AR is free to download; iPhysics™ Pro costs $2.99 up front. Physics Lab AR sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. iPhysics™ Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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.
