# Card Evolution vs Animash

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Card Evolution at 81K against Animash's 15K. Card Evolution also leads on iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Card Evolution sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Animash sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Card Evolution against 4.8 for Animash. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Evolution has 81K ratings behind it against 15K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Card Evolution's written reviews are positive against 82% of Animash's.

Card Evolution ships an update every 3 weeks, Animash every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
