# Crossy Road+ vs Temple Run+

The clearest difference is rating: Temple Run+ at 4.5 against Crossy Road+'s 4.1. Temple Run+ also leads on ratings volume (6K vs 692) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Crossy Road+'s advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 56%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Temple Run+ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Temple Run+ has 6K ratings behind it against 692, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Crossy Road+'s written reviews are positive against 56% of Temple Run+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Crossy Road+ ships an update every 4 months, Temple Run+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
