# (R)evolve vs Zombie Harvest!

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Zombie Harvest! at 91% against (R)evolve's 33%. Zombie Harvest! also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (354 vs 61). (R)evolve's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. (R)evolve sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Zombie Harvest! sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Zombie Harvest! holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zombie Harvest! has 354 ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two.
