Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Jump Kid at 100% against Diggerman's 31%. Diggerman's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, ads, 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. Jump Kid sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Diggerman sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Diggerman holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Diggerman has 2.8K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Jump Kid's written reviews are positive against 31% of Diggerman's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jump Kid ships an update every 17 months, Diggerman every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
