Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zombie Evolution at 82% against Idle Evolution's 43%. Zombie Evolution also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 268). Idle Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
