Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Cat Evolution! at every 3 weeks against Monster Trainer's every 4 months. Cat Evolution! also leads on ratings volume (22K vs 3.4K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Cat Evolution! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Monster Trainer sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cat Evolution! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Evolution! has 22K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Cat Evolution!'s written reviews are positive against 54% of Monster Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cat Evolution! ships an update every 3 weeks, Monster Trainer every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
