# Evolution vs AutoWar

Evolution and AutoWar both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Evolution's written reviews are positive against 33% of AutoWar's. AutoWar's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
