# Jetpack Joyride vs Jump

The clearest difference is rating: Jetpack Joyride at 4.7 against Jump's 4.2. Jetpack Joyride also leads on ratings volume (103K vs 1.8K) and review sentiment (67% vs 53%). Jump's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jetpack Joyride sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Jump sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
