Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: ALIVE at none against Game Jolt's shown. ALIVE also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Game Jolt's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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. Game Jolt sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and ALIVE sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ALIVE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Game Jolt has 3.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Game Jolt's written reviews are positive against 100% of ALIVE's.
Game Jolt ships an update every 11 days, ALIVE every 5 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
