# Hunter Evolution vs Animal Wars!

The clearest difference is rating: Animal Wars! at 4.7 against Hunter Evolution's 4.1. Animal Wars! also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (253 vs 52). Hunter Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 45%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hunter Evolution sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Animal Wars! sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Animal Wars! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 52 and 253 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Hunter Evolution's written reviews are positive against 45% of Animal Wars!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hunter Evolution ships an update every 3 weeks, Animal Wars! every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
