# Hopping Copters vs BMX Playground

Hopping Copters and BMX Playground both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of Hopping Copters's written reviews are positive against 9% of BMX Playground's. Hopping Copters also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). BMX Playground's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 12). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BMX Playground sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Hopping Copters asks for nothing beyond the download.

BMX Playground holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BMX Playground has 3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Hopping Copters's written reviews are positive against 9% of BMX Playground's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hopping Copters ships an update every 30 months, BMX Playground every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
