# Jump vs Stack

The clearest difference is ads: Jump at none against Stack's shown. Jump also leads on iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 13.0). Stack's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 1.8K) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jump sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Stack sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Stack holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stack has 59K ratings behind it against 1.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 53% and 53% positive.

Jump ships an update weekly, Stack every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 13, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
