# Samkok vs Evo Defense

The clearest difference is ads: Samkok at none against Evo Defense's shown. Evo Defense's advantage is chart position (#57 vs unranked) and ratings volume (9.7K vs 1.4K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Samkok sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Evo Defense sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Samkok against 4.7 for Evo Defense. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evo Defense has 9.7K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of Samkok's written reviews are positive against 40% of Evo Defense's.

Samkok ships an update monthly, Evo Defense fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
