# Arrows vs MindForge

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MindForge at none against Arrows's 11. MindForge also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Arrows's advantage is chart position (#21 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrows sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. MindForge asks for nothing beyond the download.
