Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Agar.io at 4.5 against aa's 3.8. Agar.io also leads on ratings volume (221K vs 11K) and chart position (#149 vs unranked). aa's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. aa sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Agar.io sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Agar.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Agar.io has 221K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of aa's written reviews are positive against 29% of Agar.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

aa ships an update every 10 days, Agar.io every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
