# Dragon Evolution vs Vampire Evolution

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Dragon Evolution at 15K against Vampire Evolution's 126. Vampire Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Dragon Evolution against 4.8 for Vampire Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dragon Evolution has 15K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two.
