# aa vs Agar.io

The clearest difference is rating: Agar.io at 4.5 against aa's 3.9. Agar.io also leads on ratings volume (221K vs 11K) and chart position (#165 vs unranked). aa's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 28%) 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 8 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.

Agar.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. 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 28% of Agar.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

aa ships an update every 10 days, Agar.io every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
