Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arsenal 2 at 4.5 against ProShotCase's 2.9. Arsenal 2 also leads on ratings volume (933 vs 48).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Arsenal 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arsenal 2 has 933 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of ProShotCase's written reviews are positive against 29% of Arsenal 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
