# Rolling Sky vs Up the Wall

The clearest difference is ads: Up the Wall at none against Rolling Sky's shown. Up the Wall also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). Rolling Sky's advantage is ratings volume (80K vs 151) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rolling Sky sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Up the Wall sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Up the Wall holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rolling Sky has 80K ratings behind it against 151, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Rolling Sky's written reviews are positive against 85% of Up the Wall's.

Rolling Sky ships an update fortnightly, Up the Wall every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
