# Planet Evolution vs Ranked Runner

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ranked Runner at none against Planet Evolution's 10. Ranked Runner also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Planet Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (29K vs 10). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Planet Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Ranked Runner asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Planet Evolution against 4.8 for Ranked Runner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Planet Evolution has 29K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Planet Evolution's written reviews are positive against 50% of Ranked Runner's.
