# Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game vs Thread Out

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game at 88% against Thread Out's 13%. Thread Out's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (683 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Thread Out sells 22 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thread Out holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thread Out has 683 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game's written reviews are positive against 13% of Thread Out's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Yarn! A Jumping Physics Game ships an update monthly, Thread Out every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
