Verdict

The call

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.
