# Cosmo Run vs Vertigus

The clearest difference is rating: Cosmo Run at 4.6 against Vertigus's 4.0. Cosmo Run also leads on ratings volume (49 vs 2) and device support (5 vs 3). Vertigus's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 67%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cosmo Run sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Vertigus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cosmo Run holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cosmo Run has 49 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Cosmo Run's written reviews are positive against 75% of Vertigus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cosmo Run ships an update every 6 weeks, Vertigus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
