Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Clone Evolution at none against Idle Civilizations's shown. Clone Evolution also leads on review sentiment (65% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Idle Civilizations's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, 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 Idle Civilizations sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Civilizations holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.8K and 3.2K respectively.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clone Evolution ships an update every 3 months, Idle Civilizations every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
