Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hurdle Hell holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hurdle Hell has 17 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hurdle Hell's written reviews are positive against 81% of Climb Up!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hurdle Hell ships an update every 3 months, Climb Up! every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on July 4, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
