# Sure Petcare vs Collar

The clearest difference is ads: Sure Petcare at none against Collar's shown. Sure Petcare also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (410 vs 6). Collar's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 19%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Sure Petcare against 4.3 for Collar. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sure Petcare has 410 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 19% of Sure Petcare's written reviews are positive against 50% of Collar's.

Sure Petcare ships an update every 6 weeks, Collar fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
