MERGE TO CONQUER Merge scientists and satellites into stronger producers. They earn food, energy and science every second, even while you're away, and that pays for every unit and upgrade you take into battle. DRAG, DROP, DEFEND Tap a unit card, drag it onto the battlefield and watch your squad fight.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ashes at none against Ever Beyond's shown. Ashes also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Ever Beyond's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 months) and rating (4.1 vs 3.8). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Ashes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ever Beyond sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ever Beyond holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 32 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Ashes's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ever Beyond's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ashes ships an update every 6 months, Ever Beyond every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
