# Hyper Evolution vs Animal Wildlife

The clearest difference is update cadence: Animal Wildlife at every 3 days against Hyper Evolution's every 2 months. Animal Wildlife also leads on iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). Hyper Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (43K vs 1.6K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hyper Evolution sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Animal Wildlife sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hyper Evolution has 43K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 36% of Hyper Evolution's written reviews are positive against 32% of Animal Wildlife's.

Hyper Evolution ships an update every 2 months, Animal Wildlife every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
