Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Jetpack Joyride+ at every 2 months against Threes!+'s every 51 months. Jetpack Joyride+ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (3.7K vs 196). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Jetpack Joyride+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jetpack Joyride+ has 3.7K ratings behind it against 196, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Jetpack Joyride+'s written reviews are positive against 62% of Threes!+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jetpack Joyride+ ships an update every 2 months, Threes!+ every 51 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
