Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Silly Jabs at none against Subway Surfers's 10. Silly Jabs also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Subway Surfers's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Subway Surfers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Silly Jabs asks for nothing beyond the download.
Subway Surfers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subway Surfers has 3.9M ratings behind it against 703, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Subway Surfers's written reviews are positive against 100% of Silly Jabs's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Subway Surfers ships an update weekly, Silly Jabs every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
