Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
The Incredible Platformer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Incredible Platformer has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of The Incredible Platformer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Escapea's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Incredible Platformer ships an update every 5 days, Escapea every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
