# Evolution Galaxy vs Cheeky Chooks

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cheeky Chooks at none against Evolution Galaxy's 10. Cheeky Chooks also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 66%). Evolution Galaxy's advantage is ratings volume (16K vs 159) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evolution Galaxy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Cheeky Chooks asks for nothing beyond the download.

Evolution Galaxy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evolution Galaxy has 16K ratings behind it against 159, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Evolution Galaxy's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cheeky Chooks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Evolution Galaxy ships an update monthly, Cheeky Chooks every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
