# Hungry Shark Evolution vs Dinosaur CEO

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hungry Shark Evolution at 201K against Dinosaur CEO's 14. Hungry Shark Evolution also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#70 vs unranked). Dinosaur CEO's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 77%) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hungry Shark Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Dinosaur CEO sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dinosaur CEO holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hungry Shark Evolution has 201K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Hungry Shark Evolution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Dinosaur CEO's.

Hungry Shark Evolution ships an update fortnightly, Dinosaur CEO every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 28, 2026 respectively.
