# Kitty in the Box 2 vs Cat Evolution

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Cat Evolution at 8.1K against Kitty in the Box 2's 177. Cat Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kitty in the Box 2 sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Cat Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Evolution has 8.1K ratings behind it against 177, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Kitty in the Box 2's written reviews are positive against 82% of Cat Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kitty in the Box 2 ships an update every 3 weeks, Cat Evolution every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
