# Arrow vs Creatime

The clearest difference is update cadence: Creatime at every 4 days against Arrow's every 2 weeks. Arrow's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrow sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.39 per month and Creatime sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arrow ships an update every 2 weeks, Creatime every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
