# Homo Evolution vs Zoopolis

Homo Evolution and Zoopolis both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 59% of Homo Evolution's written reviews are positive against 31% of Zoopolis's. Homo Evolution also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 339) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Homo Evolution sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Zoopolis sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Homo Evolution against 4.5 for Zoopolis. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Homo Evolution has 11K ratings behind it against 339, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of Homo Evolution's written reviews are positive against 31% of Zoopolis's.

Homo Evolution ships an update every 3 weeks, Zoopolis every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
