# Chameleon Evolution vs Turtle Evolution

The clearest difference is ads: Chameleon Evolution at none against Turtle Evolution's shown. Chameleon Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Turtle Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (9.9K vs 1.6K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Chameleon Evolution sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Turtle Evolution sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Chameleon Evolution against 4.8 for Turtle Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Turtle Evolution has 9.9K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of Chameleon Evolution's written reviews are positive against 94% of Turtle Evolution's.

Chameleon Evolution ships an update every 3 weeks, Turtle Evolution every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
