# Dancing Borderline vs Planet Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Planet Evolution at 4.8 against Dancing Borderline's 3.9. Planet Evolution also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 21). Dancing Borderline's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dancing Borderline sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Planet Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Planet Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planet Evolution has 30K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Dancing Borderline's written reviews are positive against 78% of Planet Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Dancing Borderline ships an update monthly, Planet Evolution every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
