Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Evo Pop at 4.7 against Life's 4.0. Evo Pop also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 39 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 2). Life's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evo Pop sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Life asks for nothing beyond the download.
Evo Pop holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0.

Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Life's written reviews are positive against 52% of Evo Pop's.
Life ships an update every 39 months, Evo Pop every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
