# Mr Jump vs Nova Smash

The clearest difference is rating: Mr Jump at 4.4 against Nova Smash's 4.0. Mr Jump also leads on ratings volume (4.2K vs 4). Nova Smash's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Nova Smash 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 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mr Jump ships an update every 10 days, Nova Smash every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
