# Fail Run vs Ragdoll Ninja

The clearest difference is rating: Fail Run at 4.7 against Ragdoll Ninja's 4.0. Fail Run also leads on ratings volume (34K vs 1.2K) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 2 months). Ragdoll Ninja's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 41%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fail Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ragdoll Ninja sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fail Run holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fail Run has 34K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Fail Run's written reviews are positive against 52% of Ragdoll Ninja's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fail Run ships an update every 5 weeks, Ragdoll Ninja every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
