# Evolution vs Star Trek Timelines

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Star Trek Timelines at 7.5K against Evolution's 321. Star Trek Timelines also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Star Trek Timelines 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 — 4.5 for Evolution against 4.5 for Star Trek Timelines. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Trek Timelines has 7.5K ratings behind it against 321, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 67% of Evolution's written reviews are positive against 59% of Star Trek Timelines's.

Evolution ships an update every 4 months, Star Trek Timelines every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
