Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Heirloom at 100% against ArcSite's 45%. Heirloom also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). ArcSite's advantage is ratings volume (9.3K vs 1) and chart position (#170 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
