Both are free to download. Pocket Bots sells 40 one-off in-app purchases and Epic Plane Evolution sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Pocket Bots against 4.6 for Epic Plane Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epic Plane Evolution has 174K ratings behind it against 9.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
