# Heroes Evolved vs ShellFire

The clearest difference is rating: Heroes Evolved at 4.6 against ShellFire's 3.2. Heroes Evolved also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 34%) and ratings volume (6.2K vs 329). ShellFire's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Heroes Evolved sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ShellFire sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
