# Evolution vs ASTROKINGS

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.

Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ASTROKINGS has 1.9K ratings behind it against 321, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Evolution's written reviews are positive against 50% of ASTROKINGS's.

Evolution ships an update every 4 months, ASTROKINGS monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
