Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Hop Rocket at Free against Jumpgrid's $2.99. Hop Rocket also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). Jumpgrid's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
