On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Jamba against 4.7 for Cinnabon.

Written reviews are what separate them: 24% of Jamba's written reviews are positive against 34% of Cinnabon's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Jamba ships an update monthly, Cinnabon every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
