# Screw Jam vs MerryWrap

The clearest difference is rating: MerryWrap at 5.0 against Screw Jam's 4.6. Screw Jam's advantage is ratings volume (49K vs 2) and chart position (#154 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screw Jam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and MerryWrap sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MerryWrap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screw Jam has 49K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Screw Jam ships an update weekly, MerryWrap every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
