# Panda Evolution Merge vs Uppy Cup 2018

The clearest difference is rating: Panda Evolution Merge at 4.8 against Uppy Cup 2018's 4.2. Panda Evolution Merge also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 5). Uppy Cup 2018's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Panda Evolution Merge sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Uppy Cup 2018 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Panda Evolution Merge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Panda Evolution Merge has 1.3K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
