Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Planes Run at 3.5 against The Parachute's 2.0. Planes Run also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (102 vs 12). The Parachute's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 29 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planes Run sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. The Parachute asks for nothing beyond the download.
Planes Run holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planes Run has 102 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Planes Run's written reviews are positive against 14% of The Parachute's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Planes Run ships an update every 29 months, The Parachute every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
