# Hunter Evolution vs Square Warriors

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hunter Evolution at 60% against Square Warriors's 20%. Square Warriors's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). 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 Square Warriors sells 25 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Square Warriors holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Warriors has 658 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Hunter Evolution's written reviews are positive against 20% of Square Warriors'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, Square Warriors weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
