Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shaky Totems at none against Card Evolution's 9. Shaky Totems also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (88% vs 75%). Card Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (80K vs 16) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Card Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Evolution has 80K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Shaky Totems's written reviews are positive against 75% of Card Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shaky Totems ships an update every 10 days, Card Evolution every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
