Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Agar.io at 4.5 against ru's 3.4. Agar.io also leads on ratings volume (221K vs 51) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months). ru's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (46% vs 28%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ru sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Agar.io sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Agar.io holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Agar.io has 221K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of ru's written reviews are positive against 28% of Agar.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ru ships an update every 4 months, Agar.io every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
