Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cobi Shoot at none against Crossy Road's shown. Cobi Shoot also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Crossy Road's advantage is ratings volume (740K vs 179) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Crossy Road sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Cobi Shoot sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crossy Road holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crossy Road has 740K ratings behind it against 179, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Crossy Road's written reviews are positive against 100% of Cobi Shoot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Crossy Road ships an update every 3 weeks, Cobi Shoot monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
