Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Super Penguins at 3.9K against Spooky Runner's 87. Super Penguins also leads on review sentiment (90% vs 73%). Spooky Runner's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Super Penguins sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Spooky Runner sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Spooky Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Penguins has 3.9K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Super Penguins's written reviews are positive against 73% of Spooky Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
