# Doodle Jump vs Vector Classic

The clearest difference is rating: Vector Classic at 4.9 against Doodle Jump's 4.2. Vector Classic also leads on chart position (#4 vs #37) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 828). Doodle Jump's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (71% vs 55%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Doodle Jump costs $1.99 and Vector Classic $0.99 up front. Doodle Jump sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Vector Classic sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vector Classic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 828 and 2.8K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Doodle Jump's written reviews are positive against 55% of Vector Classic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Doodle Jump ships an update every 2 months, Vector Classic every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
