# Robot Jump vs The Grinch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Robot Jump at 100% against The Grinch's 43%. Robot Jump also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). The Grinch's advantage is ratings volume (97 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Robot Jump sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and The Grinch sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Robot Jump holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Grinch has 97 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Robot Jump's written reviews are positive against 43% of The Grinch's.
