# Turtle Evolution vs Jelly Evolution

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Turtle Evolution at 94% against Jelly Evolution's 20%. Turtle Evolution also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 7). Jelly Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Turtle Evolution sells 13 one-off in-app purchases and Jelly Evolution sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Turtle Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Turtle Evolution has 9.9K ratings behind it against 7, 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 20% of Jelly Evolution's.

Turtle Evolution ships an update every 6 weeks, Jelly Evolution every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 24, 2026 respectively.
