# ARLOOPA vs Slide AR

The clearest difference is rating: ARLOOPA at 4.7 against Slide AR's 3.8. ARLOOPA also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 23%) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 9). Slide AR's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARLOOPA sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Slide AR sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ARLOOPA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARLOOPA has 1.4K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of ARLOOPA's written reviews are positive against 23% of Slide AR's.

ARLOOPA ships an update fortnightly, Slide AR weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
