# Sublime vs Arrow

The clearest difference is rating: Arrow at 5.0 against Sublime's 4.2. Arrow also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and ads (none vs shown). Sublime's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Arrow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sublime has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Sublime's written reviews are positive against 100% of Arrow's.

Sublime ships an update fortnightly, Arrow every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
