Feared by many, a force of nature, the obsession of way too many screenwriters in Hollywood… That’s right, you got it: SHARKS! Sharks are the lions of the sea – they’re regal, astute and, above all, carnivores. It might be those big bulging eyes or the lack of a silky mane, but they’re actually waaaay scarier than their terrestrial counterparts. This is why we decided that YES, the world needs a sharklicious version of the Evolution saga (maybe we just want to see the world BURN)! It’s a new wave of entertainment! Why settle for an ordinary shark? Sharks are scary by nature but with a little help of Shark Evolution they can get EXTRA scary and you can create and develop many fishy shark species, just combine them to see them evolve! Have a sea of fun mixing, matching and combining these villains of the water world!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Grow Shark at none against Shark Evolution's 11. Grow Shark also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Shark Evolution's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 15 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Shark Evolution sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Grow Shark asks for nothing beyond the download.
Shark Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shark Evolution has 7.1K ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Grow Shark's written reviews are positive against 88% of Shark Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Grow Shark ships an update every 15 months, Shark Evolution every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
