# Infinite Stairs vs Spooky Runner

The clearest difference is update cadence: Infinite Stairs at every 3 weeks against Spooky Runner's every 2 months. Infinite Stairs also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 87) and review sentiment (85% vs 73%). Spooky Runner's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infinite Stairs sells 22 one-off in-app purchases and Spooky Runner sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Spooky Runner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Stairs has 1.6K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Infinite Stairs's written reviews are positive against 73% of Spooky Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Infinite Stairs ships an update every 3 weeks, Spooky Runner every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
