Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Run Cow Run at none against Cow Evolution's shown. Run Cow Run also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). Cow Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 70) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Run Cow Run sells 7 one-off in-app purchases and Cow Evolution sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cow Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cow Evolution has 24K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Run Cow Run's written reviews are positive against 79% of Cow Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Run Cow Run ships an update every 2 months, Cow Evolution every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
