ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nekosan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 869 and 257 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Nekosan's written reviews are positive against 85% of Endless Runner X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nekosan ships an update every 2 months, Endless Runner X every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
