# Ski Jumping Pro vs Alpine Arena

Ski Jumping Pro and Alpine Arena both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Ski Jumping Pro's written reviews are positive against 49% of Alpine Arena's. Ski Jumping Pro also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 184) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Alpine Arena's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ski Jumping Pro sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Alpine Arena sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Ski Jumping Pro against 4.3 for Alpine Arena. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ski Jumping Pro has 5.2K ratings behind it against 184, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Ski Jumping Pro's written reviews are positive against 49% of Alpine Arena's.

Ski Jumping Pro ships an update every 3 months, Alpine Arena monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
