# How Human Evolved vs Creature Crafter

The clearest difference is ads: How Human Evolved at none against Creature Crafter's shown. How Human Evolved also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Creature Crafter's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 10) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. How Human Evolved sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Creature Crafter sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Creature Crafter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Creature Crafter has 11K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of How Human Evolved's written reviews are positive against 72% of Creature Crafter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

How Human Evolved ships an update every 5 weeks, Creature Crafter weekly. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
