Other is available in 12.0, 13.0, and 14.0 Odoo versions, while Arc is released in Odoo 14.0 version. Arc is a recently launched app with modern functionalities, and it will soon be launched in other versions as well.

The Backend themes might not work with Odoo Enterprise Edition for both Other and Arc Backend Theme. Both these Odoo themes are compatible with the Community edition only. This is a common trait for almost all backend themes.
In the Other theme, there are 2 tab styles, each of which has 7 stunning styles. On the other hand, you can choose from 5 different incredible tab styles on the Arc theme. Other and Arc both have 5 different attractive button styles that users can select & implement across the theme as per their requirements.
The Other theme offers you 3 different theme styles that you can select and apply. You can customize your selected theme style, and any changes made will be applied entirely in Odoo. On the other side, Arc is a modern 2-in-1 Theme that offers customizable boxed and curved themes to let you easily change the look & feel of your entire Odoo backend.
