# Cupcake Evolution vs Dolphin Evolution

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dolphin Evolution at 93% against Cupcake Evolution's 25%. Dolphin Evolution also leads on ratings volume (807 vs 10) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). 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. Cupcake Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dolphin Evolution sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dolphin Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dolphin Evolution has 807 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Cupcake Evolution's written reviews are positive against 93% of Dolphin Evolution's.
