# Platypus Evolution vs Egg Evolution

Platypus Evolution and Egg Evolution both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Platypus Evolution's written reviews are positive against 50% of Egg Evolution's. Platypus Evolution also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 34). Egg Evolution's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Platypus Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Egg Evolution sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Platypus Evolution against 4.7 for Egg Evolution. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Platypus Evolution has 6.1K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two.
