# Dinosaur Safari vs Jurassic 2D

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jurassic 2D at 100% against Dinosaur Safari's 57%. Jurassic 2D also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Dinosaur Safari's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 32 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dinosaur Safari sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Jurassic 2D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dinosaur Safari holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dinosaur Safari has 46 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Dinosaur Safari's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jurassic 2D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dinosaur Safari ships an update every 7 months, Jurassic 2D every 32 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
