# Tomato Evolution vs Vocabug

The clearest difference is ads: Vocabug at none against Tomato Evolution's shown. Vocabug also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Tomato Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tomato Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Vocabug sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Vocabug holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tomato Evolution has 70 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Tomato Evolution's written reviews are positive against 100% of Vocabug's.

Tomato Evolution ships an update monthly, Vocabug every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
