Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Upgrade Run at 67% against Rocket Sky!'s 17%. Upgrade Run also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 9) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Rocket Sky!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (108K vs 2). On price, ads and device support 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. Rocket Sky! sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days. Upgrade Run asks for nothing beyond the download.
Rocket Sky! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rocket Sky! has 108K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Rocket Sky!'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Upgrade Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
