They're completely different. One (IPFS) is a data retrieval protocol and one (Arweave) is a storage solution. Ideally Arweave would work with IPFS but it doesn't, which is a big pain. 1/

Arweave: One payment, data stored forever IPFS: Free to store data. But there’s not a 100% chance of data retrieval if the nodes storing your data go offline or stop storing it

IPFS starts with a universal, self verifiable address for content - content addressing that is location independent. This means where & how content is stored has many options. Arweave is a blockchain that tokenizes content storage focused on “forever” storage. The two can be used together.

IPFS is a file sharing protocol, Arweave is a tokenized storage solution (Filecoin is the attempt to tokenize IPFS). Arweave has a goal of making content permanent, whereas IPFS is just a protocol that gives you the option to persist content or not (but Filecoin could be used to make it more archival).

You should also check ceramic.network for structure, composable and searchable stuff owned by your wallet that your users might not want to store onchain 🙂.

I think there is a sweet spot in using both, but I'm not technical enough to repeat a friend's explanation as my own
