Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Subway Surfers at 4.6 against Jump on Stack's 4.1. Subway Surfers also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (3.8M vs 208). Jump on Stack's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
