Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Crossy Road+ at none against Stack's 18. Crossy Road+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (67% vs 53%). Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (59K vs 684). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Crossy Road+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stack holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack has 59K ratings behind it against 684, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Stack's written reviews are positive against 67% of Crossy Road+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stack ships an update every 10 days, Crossy Road+ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
