Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Hungry Shark Evolution at fortnightly against Tasty Planet Forever's every 14 months. Hungry Shark Evolution also leads on ratings volume (201K vs 1.2K) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). Tasty Planet Forever's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hungry Shark Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Tasty Planet Forever sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hungry Shark Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hungry Shark Evolution has 201K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of Hungry Shark Evolution's written reviews are positive against 81% of Tasty Planet Forever's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hungry Shark Evolution ships an update fortnightly, Tasty Planet Forever every 14 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
