# Mr Jump vs Once Upon a Tower

The clearest difference is rating: Once Upon a Tower at 4.7 against Mr Jump's 4.4. Mr Jump's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Once Upon a Tower sells 24 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Once Upon a Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4.2K and 3.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Mr Jump's written reviews are positive against 75% of Once Upon a Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mr Jump ships an update every 10 days, Once Upon a Tower every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
