Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Outrun Survival at none against Only Climb's 10. Outrun Survival also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.0 vs 3.6). Only Climb's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 5%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Outrun Survival holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outrun Survival has 126 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Only Climb's written reviews are positive against 5% of Outrun Survival's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Only Climb ships an update every 5 months, Outrun Survival every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
