# Temple Run vs Om Nom

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Temple Run at 420K against Om Nom's 4K. Temple Run also leads on chart position (#28 vs unranked) and review sentiment (72% vs 62%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Temple Run sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Om Nom sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Temple Run against 4.4 for Om Nom. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Temple Run has 420K ratings behind it against 4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Temple Run's written reviews are positive against 62% of Om Nom's.

Temple Run ships an update every 2 months, Om Nom monthly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
