# Glides vs Horse Evolution

The clearest difference is ads: Glides at none against Horse Evolution's shown. Glides also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (564 vs 62). Horse Evolution's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (67% vs 47%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Glides sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Horse Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Horse Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glides has 564 ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Glides's written reviews are positive against 67% of Horse Evolution's.

Glides ships an update every 2 weeks, Horse Evolution every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
