Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Owlet Dream at 4.6 against PetFun's 1.9. Owlet Dream also leads on ratings volume (43K vs 54) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). PetFun's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Owlet Dream holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.9.
