# Fletched vs ArrowForge

The clearest difference is monetization model: Fletched at free against ArrowForge's freemium. Fletched also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1). ArrowForge's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fletched sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and ArrowForge sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ArrowForge holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fletched has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Fletched ships an update every 8 days, ArrowForge fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
