# Decipher vs Arrow Fever

The clearest difference is rating: Decipher at 5.0 against Arrow Fever's 4.6. Arrow Fever's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 2) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Decipher sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Arrow Fever sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Decipher holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow Fever has 24K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Decipher ships an update monthly, Arrow Fever every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
