Pupdate is Manhattan Dog Club's app for the people whose dogs spend the day with us. See your dog's day as it happens. Staff post photos, videos, and notes from daycare, boarding, and grooming, and you get a notification the moment something new goes up. Stories collect the last 24 hours in one place. Everything about the day, in one feed. Feeding, medication, walks, moods, and pickups are logged alongside the photos, so you know how the day went, not just that it happened. Talk to the club. Message the front desk directly, and hear back in the same thread. Request grooming and boarding. Ask for a groom or a stay in a few taps, and the club confirms it. No account needed to browse the community feed or send a request. Share your dog with the people who matter. A partner, a walker, or family can follow along with one link. Made for Manhattan Dog Club members. Ask the front desk to link your dog to your account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pupdate! at none against ID GO's shown. Pupdate! also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). ID GO's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
