Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Battlegrounds .io at 4.7 against Arrow.io's 3.5. Battlegrounds .io also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). Arrow.io's advantage is ratings volume (3.4K vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support 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. Arrow.io sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Battlegrounds .io asks for nothing beyond the download.
Battlegrounds .io holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow.io has 3.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Arrow.io's written reviews are positive against 33% of Battlegrounds .io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
