Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ArcSite at 4.7 against Easy Build's 1.0. ArcSite also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (9.2K vs 1). Easy Build's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.4). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy Build sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and ArcSite sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ArcSite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcSite has 9.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of Easy Build's written reviews are positive against 45% of ArcSite's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Easy Build ships an update every 5 months, ArcSite weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
