# Cookie Clickers 2 vs Planet Evolution

The clearest difference is rating: Planet Evolution at 4.8 against Cookie Clickers 2's 4.6. Cookie Clickers 2's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cookie Clickers 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Planet Evolution sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Planet Evolution holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10K and 30K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Cookie Clickers 2's written reviews are positive against 78% of Planet Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cookie Clickers 2 ships an update fortnightly, Planet Evolution every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
