Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Arrow at 4.4 against BBTAN's 3.1. Arrow also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 49%). BBTAN's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Arrow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and BBTAN sells 12 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 3.1.

Arrow ships an update every 6 weeks, BBTAN every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
