# Endless Doves vs Glitch Run

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Endless Doves at 64% against Glitch Run's 25%. Glitch Run's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Doves sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Glitch Run sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Glitch Run holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glitch Run has 1.1K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Endless Doves's written reviews are positive against 25% of Glitch Run's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Endless Doves ships an update every 11 months, Glitch Run fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
