# sp vs Dino Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Dino Evolution at 4.7 against sp's 3.7. Dino Evolution also leads on review sentiment (92% vs 65%) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 140). sp's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sp sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Dino Evolution sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dino Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dino Evolution has 2.8K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of sp's written reviews are positive against 92% of Dino Evolution's.

sp ships an update every 2 months, Dino Evolution every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
