# Leap Day vs Jump Jerboa

Leap Day and Jump Jerboa both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 92% of Jump Jerboa's written reviews are positive against 59% of Leap Day's. Leap Day's advantage is ratings volume (18K vs 480) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Leap Day sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days and Jump Jerboa sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jump Jerboa holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Leap Day has 18K ratings behind it against 480, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Leap Day's written reviews are positive against 92% of Jump Jerboa's.

Leap Day ships an update every 3 weeks, Jump Jerboa every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
