# GOL vs Mergimals

GOL and Mergimals both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of GOL's written reviews are positive against 72% of Mergimals's. Mergimals's advantage is ratings volume (415 vs 66) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GOL sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Mergimals sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for GOL against 4.4 for Mergimals. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mergimals has 415 ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of GOL's written reviews are positive against 72% of Mergimals's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
