# EVO vs Merge Master

The clearest difference is ratings volume: EVO at 6.4K against Merge Master's 5. EVO also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EVO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Merge Master sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for EVO against 4.6 for Merge Master. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EVO has 6.4K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

EVO ships an update every 2 months, Merge Master every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
