Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Sonic Dash+ at 4.6 against Crossy Road+'s 4.1. Sonic Dash+ also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 684). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sonic Dash+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonic Dash+ has 12K ratings behind it against 684, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Crossy Road+'s written reviews are positive against 66% of Sonic Dash+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crossy Road+ ships an update every 4 months, Sonic Dash+ every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
