蹦 vs 跳

蹦 and 跳 both have meanings that are not shared, but when they mean "jump, leap", they are not exchangeable in many cases.

The direction of 蹦 is strictly upward or forward, while 跳 has more directions, for instance, 跳河 and 跳楼 are both jump and falling downward.

When it comes to certain activities, idioms and fixed phrases, they are largely not interchangeable. For example, 跳皮筋, 蹦级, etc. Chinese learners may need to memorize the collocations one by one.
