Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Carrion at Free against Jumpgrid's $2.99. Carrion also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 185). Jumpgrid's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Jumpgrid holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.4.

Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Jumpgrid's written reviews are positive against 70% of Carrion's.
Jumpgrid ships an update fortnightly, Carrion every 5 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
