ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tool Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tool Evolution has 12K ratings behind it against 508, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Melt and Fill's written reviews are positive against 20% of Tool Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Melt and Fill ships an update monthly, Tool Evolution every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
