# Wacky Genes vs Human Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Human Evolution at 4.7 against Wacky Genes's 3.9. Human Evolution also leads on ratings volume (206 vs 37) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Wacky Genes's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Wacky Genes sells 23 one-off in-app purchases and Human Evolution sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Human Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Human Evolution has 206 ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Wacky Genes's written reviews are positive against 75% of Human Evolution's.

Wacky Genes ships an update every 5 days, Human Evolution every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
