# EggHatcher vs Everbreed

The clearest difference is rating: Everbreed at 4.3 against EggHatcher's 3.9. Everbreed also leads on ratings volume (513 vs 22). EggHatcher's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EggHatcher sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Everbreed sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Everbreed holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Everbreed has 513 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of EggHatcher's written reviews are positive against 39% of Everbreed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
