Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Evil Orbs at 67% against Cooking Star's 29%. Cooking Star's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (654 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Evil Orbs sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cooking Star sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cooking Star holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cooking Star has 654 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 29% of Cooking Star'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, Cooking Star every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
