# Color Flow vs Arrow Explorer

The clearest difference is rating: Color Flow at 4.7 against Arrow Explorer's 3.2. Color Flow also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 66) and review sentiment (18% vs 5%). Arrow Explorer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Color Flow sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Arrow Explorer sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Color Flow holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Color Flow has 2.1K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Color Flow's written reviews are positive against 5% of Arrow Explorer's.

Color Flow ships an update every 2 weeks, Arrow Explorer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
