# Nanosaur 2 vs Monster Evolution

The clearest difference is price: Monster Evolution at Free against Nanosaur 2's $3.99. Monster Evolution also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 45). Nanosaur 2's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 19) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Monster Evolution is free to download; Nanosaur 2 costs $3.99 up front. Monster Evolution sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Nanosaur 2 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Monster Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monster Evolution has 5.8K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Nanosaur 2's written reviews are positive against 77% of Monster Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
