ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chrome Dino Run holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chrome Dino Run has 3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Chrome Dino Run's written reviews are positive against 67% of Run Dino's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chrome Dino Run ships an update every 3 months, Run Dino every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
