# Cat Evolution vs Weird Store

The clearest difference is rating: Cat Evolution at 4.8 against Weird Store's 4.0. Cat Evolution also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 5). Weird Store's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat Evolution sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Weird Store asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cat Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Evolution has 8.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Cat Evolution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Weird Store's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cat Evolution ships an update every 10 days, Weird Store every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
