Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Evolve1 at 4.5 against 5's 1.4. Evolve1 also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). 5's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 11) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
