Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jetpack Joyride+ at 4.5 against Crossy Road+'s 4.1. Jetpack Joyride+ also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 695). Crossy Road+'s advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
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 4.2K ratings behind it against 695, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Jetpack Joyride+'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Crossy Road+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jetpack Joyride+ ships an update every 2 months, Crossy Road+ every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
