Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Spin a Zoo at 911 against Reindeer Evolution's 95. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Spin a Zoo sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Reindeer Evolution sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Reindeer Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spin a Zoo has 911 ratings behind it against 95, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Spin a Zoo's written reviews are positive against 75% of Reindeer Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Spin a Zoo ships an update every 2 months, Reindeer Evolution every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
