# Goat Evolution vs ci

The clearest difference is rating: Goat Evolution at 4.7 against ci's 3.9. Goat Evolution also leads on ratings volume (9.5K vs 101) and review sentiment (84% vs 65%). ci'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. Goat Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and ci sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Goat Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Goat Evolution has 9.5K ratings behind it against 101, 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 65% of ci's.

Goat Evolution ships an update every 5 weeks, ci every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
