Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Octopus Evolution at Free against Tasty Planet's $3.99. Octopus Evolution also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). Tasty Planet's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
