Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Boulder Jack at 4.3 against Commando Rescue Gun Strike's 2.7. Boulder Jack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 98 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Boulder Jack sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Commando Rescue Gun Strike sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Boulder Jack holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Boulder Jack has 42 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Boulder Jack's written reviews are positive against 67% of Commando Rescue Gun Strike's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Boulder Jack ships an update every 2 months, Commando Rescue Gun Strike every 98 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
