Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mr Jump at 4.4 against ba's 3.9. Mr Jump also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (4.2K vs 14). ba's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mr Jump sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ba 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 3.9.

Mr Jump ships an update every 10 days, ba every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
