Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Arrow at none against JOE's shown. Arrow also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and device support (3 vs 1). JOE's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Arrow against 4.9 for JOE. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JOE has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
