# CARD COLLECT vs Card Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Card Evolution at 4.8 against CARD COLLECT's 4.2. Card Evolution also leads on ratings volume (81K vs 5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). CARD COLLECT's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 12.5). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CARD COLLECT sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Card Evolution sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Card Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Card Evolution has 81K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 75% and 75% positive.

CARD COLLECT ships an update every 6 weeks, Card Evolution every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
