# Hunter Evolution vs Cats vs Dogs

The clearest difference is rating: Cats vs Dogs at 4.8 against Hunter Evolution's 4.0. Cats vs Dogs also leads on ratings volume (986 vs 49). Hunter Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 44%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hunter Evolution sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Cats vs Dogs sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cats vs Dogs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cats vs Dogs has 986 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 44% of Cats vs Dogs'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, Cats vs Dogs every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
