# Abalone® vs Evergreen

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Evergreen at 61% against Abalone®'s 17%. Evergreen also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (27 vs 2). Abalone®'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (daily vs monthly). On monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Abalone® costs $3.99 and Evergreen $4.99 up front. Evergreen sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Abalone® asks for nothing beyond the download.

Abalone® holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evergreen has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Abalone®'s written reviews are positive against 61% of Evergreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Abalone® ships an update daily, Evergreen monthly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
