# Doodle Devil™ Alchemy vs Evolution Board Game

The clearest difference is rating: Evolution Board Game at 4.7 against Doodle Devil™ Alchemy's 2.8. Evolution Board Game also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Doodle Devil™ Alchemy sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Evolution Board Game sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Evolution Board Game holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evolution Board Game has 4.8K ratings behind it against 90, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Doodle Devil™ Alchemy's written reviews are positive against 59% of Evolution Board Game's.

Doodle Devil™ Alchemy ships an update every 3 months, Evolution Board Game every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on August 15, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
