# Relaxing Jump vs Stack Ball

The clearest difference is rating: Stack Ball at 4.6 against Relaxing Jump's 2.8. Relaxing Jump's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (15% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Relaxing Jump sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Stack Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stack Ball holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Relaxing Jump has 335 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Relaxing Jump's written reviews are positive against 0% of Stack Ball's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Relaxing Jump ships an update fortnightly, Stack Ball every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
