# Scream Evolution vs Elephant Evolution

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Elephant Evolution at 100% against Scream Evolution's 50%. Elephant Evolution also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Scream Evolution's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0).
