# ARLOOPA vs Arrea

The clearest difference is rating: ARLOOPA at 4.7 against Arrea's 2.0. ARLOOPA also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ARLOOPA sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Arrea sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ARLOOPA holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ARLOOPA has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of ARLOOPA's written reviews are positive against 67% of Arrea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ARLOOPA ships an update fortnightly, Arrea every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
