# Dino Evolution vs Jurassic Dinosaur Simulator

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dino Evolution at 92% against Jurassic Dinosaur Simulator's 32%. Dino Evolution also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 430). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dino Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Jurassic Dinosaur Simulator sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dino Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dino Evolution has 2.8K ratings behind it against 430, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Dino Evolution's written reviews are positive against 32% of Jurassic Dinosaur Simulator's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
