Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gamejam at none against CloudGear's 3. Gamejam also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 88%). CloudGear's advantage is ratings volume (586 vs 1) and iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

CloudGear ships an update every 3 weeks, Gamejam every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
