# Turtle Evolution vs Cupcake Evolution

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Turtle Evolution at 94% against Cupcake Evolution's 25%. Turtle Evolution also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 10). Cupcake Evolution's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Turtle Evolution sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Cupcake Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Turtle Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Turtle Evolution has 9.9K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Turtle Evolution's written reviews are positive against 25% of Cupcake Evolution's.
