Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Spider Evolution at 92% against Hyper Life Evolution's 17%. Spider Evolution also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (306 vs 59). Hyper Life Evolution's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
