# Ragdoll Archer vs Mr Bow

The clearest difference is rating: Mr Bow at 4.3 against Ragdoll Archer's 3.2. Mr Bow also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 23). Ragdoll Archer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Bow sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Ragdoll Archer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mr Bow holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Bow has 1.4K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ragdoll Archer's written reviews are positive against 49% of Mr Bow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ragdoll Archer ships an update fortnightly, Mr Bow monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
