# TapWars vs Planet Evolution

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TapWars at none against Planet Evolution's 10. TapWars also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). Planet Evolution's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (30K vs 6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Planet Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planet Evolution has 30K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TapWars's written reviews are positive against 78% of Planet Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
