# Polybear vs EVO

Polybear and EVO both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of Polybear's written reviews are positive against 50% of EVO's. EVO's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 68). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Polybear sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and EVO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Polybear against 4.6 for EVO. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EVO has 6.2K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of Polybear's written reviews are positive against 50% of EVO's.

Polybear ships an update every 13 months, EVO every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
