# Sonic Jump™ vs Square Heroes

The clearest difference is price: Square Heroes at Free against Sonic Jump™'s $2.99. Square Heroes also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). Sonic Jump™'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (836 vs 6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Square Heroes is free to download; Sonic Jump™ costs $2.99 up front. Sonic Jump™ sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Square Heroes sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sonic Jump™ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sonic Jump™ has 836 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Sonic Jump™'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Square Heroes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Sonic Jump™ ships an update every 12 months, Square Heroes every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
