# 69 vs Giraffe Evolution

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 69 at none against Giraffe Evolution's 10. 69 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Giraffe Evolution's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 6) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Giraffe Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. 69 asks for nothing beyond the download.

69 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Giraffe Evolution has 3K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of 69's written reviews are positive against 93% of Giraffe Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

69 ships an update every 6 months, Giraffe Evolution every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
