Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Jetpack Joyride at 104K against Jetpack Joyride Test Labs's 24. Jetpack Joyride also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Jetpack Joyride Test Labs's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Jetpack Joyride sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Jetpack Joyride Test Labs sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Jetpack Joyride holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jetpack Joyride has 104K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Jetpack Joyride's written reviews are positive against 86% of Jetpack Joyride Test Labs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jetpack Joyride ships an update every 2 weeks, Jetpack Joyride Test Labs every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
