# Cow Evolution vs Slime Evolutionary Path

The clearest difference is rating: Cow Evolution at 4.7 against Slime Evolutionary Path's 4.4. Cow Evolution also leads on ratings volume (23K vs 765) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Slime Evolutionary Path's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cow Evolution sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Slime Evolutionary Path sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cow Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cow Evolution has 23K ratings behind it against 765, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Cow Evolution's written reviews are positive against 84% of Slime Evolutionary Path's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cow Evolution ships an update every 10 days, Slime Evolutionary Path every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
