# Spin a Zoo vs Tiger Evolution

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Spin a Zoo at 911 against Tiger Evolution's 112. Tiger Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 77%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spin a Zoo sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Tiger 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 — 4.6 for Spin a Zoo against 4.7 for Tiger Evolution.
