# ArcSite vs Firestop Locator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Firestop Locator at 100% against ArcSite's 45%. Firestop Locator also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). ArcSite's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArcSite sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Firestop Locator asks for nothing beyond the download.

ArcSite holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArcSite has 9.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of ArcSite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Firestop Locator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ArcSite ships an update weekly, Firestop Locator every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
