Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hexcellence at none against Arrower's 5. Hexcellence also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Arrower's advantage is ratings volume (25 vs 2) and device support. On price and review sentiment 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. Arrower sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Hexcellence asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hexcellence holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrower has 25 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
