# Evo Pop vs Alien Evolution

Evo Pop and Alien Evolution both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Alien Evolution's written reviews are positive against 52% of Evo Pop's. Evo Pop's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Evo Pop against 4.7 for Alien Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evo Pop has 15K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of Evo Pop's written reviews are positive against 100% of Alien Evolution's.

Evo Pop ships an update every 6 weeks, Alien Evolution monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
