Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Reflex at 4.8 against The Arrow's 3.0. Reflex also leads on ratings volume (8 vs 1). The Arrow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 11.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Arrow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Reflex sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reflex holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reflex has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
