ArcRoute focuses on the ride itself, for iPhone riders from Britain to the Balkans: the riding time under every curviness step, Czech closures routed around, and a heatmap of every road you have ridden. All of it in English or Czech.
What each app does today, and what is free. Every Scenic fact has its source under the table.

Three things ArcRoute is built around. Each has its own page if you want more.
Four steps from Direct to Wild, and the riding time under each one.
When ArcRoute plans a route, and every time it recalculates one on the road, it steers around closed roads in Czechia.
Record the season and watch your roads light up, brightest where you ride most.
With Scenic you plan and record for free and pay for voice navigation, offline maps and curvy routing. Its trial comes with the yearly plan, and Scenic does not publish how long it runs. ArcRoute has no free version, and new riders try everything free first. App Store prices, VAT included.

App Store prices, VAT included: the crowns from the Czech store, the euros from the German one. Each store has its own price list, so the crowns and the euros do not follow the exchange rate.
Plan a loop, ride it, and watch it land on your map. Keep Scenic while you decide.

The support page has the rest, from sign-in to subscriptions.
No. ArcRoute is one subscription with every feature in it, and new riders try it free first. The price table above has both apps side by side.
Yes, as GPX files. Scenic exports GPX with Premium; ArcRoute imports the file, snaps it to the roads and guides you along it with voice.
Yes. The app, the voice in your helmet and the website come in Czech and English. Scenic’s app comes in ten languages, and Czech is not one of them.
Partly. A saved ride runs from the phone, turns and voice included, but planning and rerouting need a connection, and the map shows only what the phone has already loaded. Downloadable offline maps are not there yet; Scenic has them with Premium.
Then look at Scenic: its Android version is in open beta, with some features still to come. ArcRoute is built natively for iPhone, and there is no Android version planned right now.
No. ArcRoute guides you with the phone on the bars or in your pocket and speaks into your helmet over Bluetooth, in English or Czech. Scenic supports CarPlay in its free version.
In Czechia, yes: ArcRoute reads the official closure data, plans around it and shows the closures on the map. Outside Czechia it does not know about closures. Scenic shows closures and incidents from TomTom on the map, with Premium, and does not route around them.
No. Ride another way and once a stop is behind you, the recalculation skips it and leads you on. One you only just missed it still aims for, around the block if need be. Scenic guides you to the first stop you have not reached; with Premium you can set it to offer a skip after a few recalculations, and there is a skip button on the map.
In twenty-seven countries: Britain and Ireland, the Benelux, France and Italy, Spain, Portugal and Andorra, from Germany and Poland down to Albania, and Morocco. The coverage page shows each one with its roads. Scenic routes worldwide.
