Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Planet Evolution at 4.8 against TapTest's 3.9. Planet Evolution also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 27) and review sentiment (78% vs 69%). TapTest's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
