Both are free to download. Arrow sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Gate Rusher sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Gate Rusher holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8.1K and 8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Arrow's written reviews are positive against 42% of Gate Rusher's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Arrow ships an update every 6 weeks, Gate Rusher every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
