# Fairy Evolution vs Lumins

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lumins at 100% against Fairy Evolution's 50%. Lumins also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 6 weeks). Fairy Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (161 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fairy Evolution sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Lumins sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
