# Twisted Ropes vs Slide Jam

The clearest difference is rating: Twisted Ropes at 4.7 against Slide Jam's 4.2. Twisted Ropes also leads on ratings volume (102K vs 496). Slide Jam's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (31% vs 23%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Twisted Ropes sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Slide Jam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Twisted Ropes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Twisted Ropes has 102K ratings behind it against 496, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Twisted Ropes's written reviews are positive against 31% of Slide Jam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Twisted Ropes ships an update fortnightly, Slide Jam weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
