Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Auto Feeder at 5.0 against Catit®'s 2.1. Catit®'s advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (85 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Auto Feeder holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Catit® has 85 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Auto Feeder's written reviews are positive against 17% of Catit®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 8, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
