Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Carrom Champion at 4.8 against (R)evolve's 3.5. (R)evolve's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. (R)evolve sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Carrom Champion sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Carrom Champion holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 61 and 13 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of (R)evolve's written reviews are positive against 25% of Carrom Champion's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

(R)evolve ships an update fortnightly, Carrom Champion every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
