# Stack Jump vs Hopscotch Run

The clearest difference is rating: Stack Jump at 4.6 against Hopscotch Run's 3.7. Stack Jump also leads on ratings volume (299K vs 338) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stack Jump sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hopscotch Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stack Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack Jump has 299K ratings behind it against 338, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Stack Jump's written reviews are positive against 53% of Hopscotch Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stack Jump ships an update every 4 weeks, Hopscotch Run every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
