# Lion Runner vs Lion Evolution

Both are free to download. Lion Runner sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Lion Evolution sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Lion Runner against 4.8 for Lion Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lion Evolution has 118 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two.
