# Pearl's Peril vs How Human Evolved

Pearl's Peril and How Human Evolved both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of How Human Evolved's written reviews are positive against 63% of Pearl's Peril's. How Human Evolved also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Pearl's Peril's advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 10). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pearl's Peril sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and How Human Evolved sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
