The clearest difference is rating: Cat Evolution! at 4.6 against Cat Life Simulator!'s 3.5. Cat Evolution! also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 589) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat Life Simulator! sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Cat Evolution! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
