Verdict
Dot Eater and Archers.io both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 72% of Dot Eater's written reviews are positive against 15% of Archers.io's. Dot Eater also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Archers.io's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (33K vs 15). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Archers.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Dot Eater asks for nothing beyond the download.
Archers.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Archers.io has 33K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Dot Eater's written reviews are positive against 15% of Archers.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dot Eater ships an update every 12 months, Archers.io every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
