# Threes! vs Evergarden

The clearest difference is rating: Evergarden at 4.3 against Threes!'s 4.0. Evergarden also leads on price ($4.99 vs $5.99). Threes!'s advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 76) and review sentiment (79% vs 64%). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Threes! costs $5.99 and Evergarden $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Evergarden holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Threes! has 3K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Threes!'s written reviews are positive against 64% of Evergarden's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Threes! ships an update every 3 weeks, Evergarden every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
