# Subway Surfers vs Robot Jump

The clearest difference is ads: Robot Jump at none against Subway Surfers's shown. Robot Jump also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Subway Surfers's advantage is ratings volume (3.9M vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subway Surfers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Robot Jump sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Robot Jump holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Surfers has 3.9M ratings behind it against 2, 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 100% of Robot Jump's.

Subway Surfers ships an update weekly, Robot Jump every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
