# Super Penguins vs Spooky Runner

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.

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.

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