# DEAD TARGET vs Evolution 2

The clearest difference is ratings volume: DEAD TARGET at 51K against Evolution 2's 2.9K. DEAD TARGET also leads on review sentiment (56% vs 47%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DEAD TARGET sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Evolution 2 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for DEAD TARGET against 4.7 for Evolution 2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DEAD TARGET has 51K ratings behind it against 2.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
