# Evil Orbs vs Candy Charming

The clearest difference is update cadence: Candy Charming at fortnightly against Evil Orbs's every 19 months. Candy Charming also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 8) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Evil Orbs's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evil Orbs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Candy Charming sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Candy Charming holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Candy Charming has 12K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Evil Orbs's written reviews are positive against 63% of Candy Charming's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Evil Orbs ships an update every 19 months, Candy Charming fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
