Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Helix Jump at 4.6 against slither.io's 3.8. Helix Jump also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 3.3K). slither.io's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (55% vs 41%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. slither.io sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Helix Jump sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Helix Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Helix Jump has 1.5M ratings behind it against 3.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of slither.io's written reviews are positive against 41% of Helix Jump's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
