# Run & Jump vs Light

The clearest difference is rating: Light at 4.7 against Run & Jump's 4.2. Light also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (194K vs 73). Run & Jump's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Light sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Run & Jump asks for nothing beyond the download.

Light holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Light has 194K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Run & Jump's written reviews are positive against 75% of Light's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Run & Jump ships an update every 20 months, Light every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
