# rl vs Cat Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Cat Evolution at 4.8 against rl's 3.5. Cat Evolution also leads on ratings volume (8.1K vs 71) and review sentiment (82% vs 57%). rl's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. rl sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Cat Evolution sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Evolution has 8.1K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of rl's written reviews are positive against 82% of Cat Evolution's.

rl ships an update every 5 weeks, Cat Evolution every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
