Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bowmasters at 4.5 against Arrow.io's 3.5. Bowmasters also leads on ratings volume (1.9M vs 3.4K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Arrow.io's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
