# Mr Jump vs Helix

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mr Jump at 82% against Helix's 30%. Mr Jump also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 90). Helix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Helix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mr Jump holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mr Jump has 4.2K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of Mr Jump's written reviews are positive against 30% of Helix's.

Mr Jump ships an update every 10 days, Helix fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
