Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mr Jump World at 72% against Helix's 30%. Mr Jump World also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 90). Helix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Helix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Mr Jump World sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mr Jump World holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Jump World has 1.2K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of Helix's written reviews are positive against 72% of Mr Jump World's.
Helix ships an update fortnightly, Mr Jump World every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
