# Bold Attack vs Narrow Arrow

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Narrow Arrow at 85% against Bold Attack's 19%. Bold Attack's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and update cadence (daily vs every 4 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bold Attack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and Narrow Arrow sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bold Attack holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bold Attack has 418 ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Bold Attack's written reviews are positive against 85% of Narrow Arrow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bold Attack ships an update daily, Narrow Arrow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
