# Goat Evolution vs Spinner Evolution

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Goat Evolution at 9.5K against Spinner Evolution's 132. Goat Evolution also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Spinner Evolution's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Goat Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Spinner Evolution sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Goat Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goat Evolution has 9.5K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Goat Evolution's written reviews are positive against 83% of Spinner Evolution's.

Goat Evolution ships an update every 5 weeks, Spinner Evolution every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
