# ArcSite vs StretchPaper

The clearest difference is price: ArcSite at Free against StretchPaper's $2.99. ArcSite also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (9.3K vs 65). StretchPaper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.4). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

ArcSite is free to download; StretchPaper costs $2.99 up front. ArcSite sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. StretchPaper asks for nothing beyond the download.

ArcSite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcSite has 9.3K ratings behind it against 65, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of ArcSite's written reviews are positive against 50% of StretchPaper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ArcSite ships an update weekly, StretchPaper every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
