# Doodle Jump vs Fall Ball

The clearest difference is rating: Doodle Jump at 4.2 against Fall Ball's 3.4. Doodle Jump also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 18). Fall Ball's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Fall Ball sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Doodle Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doodle Jump has 3.2K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Doodle Jump ships an update every 2 months, Fall Ball every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
