Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Gravity Runner at every 4 days against AQ's every 2 months. Gravity Runner also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). AQ's advantage is ratings volume (182 vs 15). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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. Gravity Runner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AQ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Gravity Runner against 4.6 for AQ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AQ has 182 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of Gravity Runner's written reviews are positive against 77% of AQ's.
Gravity Runner ships an update every 4 days, AQ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
