Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Bowmasters at fortnightly against Gibbets's every 3 months. Bowmasters also leads on ratings volume (1.9M vs 229) and chart position (#27 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bowmasters sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Gibbets sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Bowmasters against 4.6 for Gibbets. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bowmasters has 1.9M ratings behind it against 229, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of Bowmasters's written reviews are positive against 42% of Gibbets's.
Bowmasters ships an update fortnightly, Gibbets every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
