# Scream Evolution vs Panda Evolution Merge

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Panda Evolution Merge at 93% against Scream Evolution's 50%. Panda Evolution Merge also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 8). Scream Evolution's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
