# Subway Surfers vs Super Cargo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Subway Surfers at 87% against Super Cargo's 35%. Subway Surfers also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (3.9M vs 15). Super Cargo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subway Surfers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Super Cargo sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Subway Surfers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Surfers has 3.9M ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 87% of Subway Surfers's written reviews are positive against 35% of Super Cargo's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
