On the road you need to eat insects smaller than you to grow up, but at the same time don’t be eaten, be careful of insects larger than you and stronger creatures.
Monster Go
Grow your monster by devouring smaller creatures while avoiding larger ones. Evolve into a super monster and become the strongest in this survival game. Be cautious of super monsters that can make you their food.

In a wonderful world, there are all kinds of monsters. You start with a small monster. You need to carefully avoid high-level monsters, devour low-level monsters, and grow slowly. Sometimes there will be super monsters. At this time, you need to hide and don't be found, otherwise you will become the food of super monsters. Of course, as you devour small monsters, you will eventually grow into super monsters, even the strongest monsters.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Insect Evolution at 3.7 against Monster Go's 3.0. Insect Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 43). Monster Go's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
