# ARTERIA vs Mr Autofire

The clearest difference is rating: Mr Autofire at 4.8 against ARTERIA's 3.8. Mr Autofire also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (28K vs 13). ARTERIA's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Autofire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. ARTERIA asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mr Autofire holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Autofire has 28K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of ARTERIA's written reviews are positive against 58% of Mr Autofire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ARTERIA ships an update every 6 weeks, Mr Autofire weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
