# Arrow vs Forteva

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Arrow at 9.4K against Forteva's 2. Forteva's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrow sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.39 per month and Forteva sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Forteva holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow has 9.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Arrow ships an update every 2 weeks, Forteva every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
