# Jack vs Pumpkin 3D

The clearest difference is rating: Jack at 5.0 against Pumpkin 3D's 4.4. Jack also leads on update cadence (every 30 months vs every 87 months) and chart position (#197 vs unranked). Pumpkin 3D's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and ratings volume (24 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Jack costs $0.99 and Pumpkin 3D $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Jack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pumpkin 3D has 24 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Jack's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pumpkin 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Jack ships an update every 30 months, Pumpkin 3D every 87 months. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
