Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Banana Busters at none against Card Evolution's 9. Banana Busters also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Card Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (81K vs 8) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Evolution sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Banana Busters asks for nothing beyond the download.
Card Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Evolution has 81K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Banana Busters's written reviews are positive against 75% of Card Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Banana Busters ships an update every 8 days, Card Evolution every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
