# Kaiju Run vs EVO

The clearest difference is monetization model: EVO at free with in-app purchases against Kaiju Run's subscription. Kaiju Run's advantage is ratings volume (59K vs 6.4K) and review sentiment (63% vs 52%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kaiju Run sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.49 per 7 days and EVO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 Kaiju Run against 4.6 for EVO. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kaiju Run has 59K ratings behind it against 6.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of Kaiju Run's written reviews are positive against 52% of EVO's.

Kaiju Run ships an update every 5 weeks, EVO every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
