Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ASTROKINGS at none against Evolution's shown. ASTROKINGS also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1.9K vs 321). Evolution's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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