# Touchgrind BMX vs Rooftop Run

The clearest difference is rating: Rooftop Run at 4.8 against Touchgrind BMX's 3.8. Rooftop Run also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 683). Touchgrind BMX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#150 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Touchgrind BMX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rooftop Run sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rooftop Run holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rooftop Run has 25K ratings behind it against 683, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Touchgrind BMX's written reviews are positive against 69% of Rooftop Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Touchgrind BMX ships an update every 6 months, Rooftop Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
