# Clone Evolution vs Spinner Evolution

The clearest difference is ads: Clone Evolution at none against Spinner Evolution's shown. Clone Evolution also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 132). Spinner Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (83% vs 65%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clone Evolution sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Spinner Evolution sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Clone Evolution against 4.5 for Spinner Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clone Evolution has 1.8K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two.
