# Arrow vs MacroPeak

The clearest difference is ads: Arrow at none against MacroPeak's shown. Arrow also leads on ratings volume (9.1K vs 15). MacroPeak's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrow sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.39 per month and MacroPeak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Arrow against 4.7 for MacroPeak. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow has 9.1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Arrow's written reviews are positive against 100% of MacroPeak's.

Arrow ships an update every 2 weeks, MacroPeak every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
