# Jurassic World Alive vs Dino Evolution Run 3D

Jurassic World Alive and Dino Evolution Run 3D both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 63% of Jurassic World Alive's written reviews are positive against 33% of Dino Evolution Run 3D's. Jurassic World Alive also leads on ratings volume (129K vs 1.6K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Jurassic World Alive sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Dino Evolution Run 3D sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dino Evolution Run 3D holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jurassic World Alive has 129K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Jurassic World Alive's written reviews are positive against 33% of Dino Evolution Run 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Jurassic World Alive ships an update fortnightly, Dino Evolution Run 3D every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
