# Endless Doves vs Arrow

The clearest difference is ads: Arrow at none against Endless Doves's shown. Arrow also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (8.1K vs 70). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Doves sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Arrow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Arrow holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arrow has 8.1K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Endless Doves's written reviews are positive against 84% of Arrow's.

Endless Doves ships an update every 11 months, Arrow every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
