# Mega Jump vs Cut the Rope

The clearest difference is ads: Mega Jump at none against Cut the Rope's shown. Mega Jump also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (5.0 vs 13.0). Cut the Rope's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mega Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cut the Rope sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cut the Rope holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.3K and 836 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Mega Jump's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cut the Rope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mega Jump ships an update every 2 months, Cut the Rope every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
