Verdict

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. GameCat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. MH Generations Database asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for MH Generations Database against 4.8 for GameCat. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MH Generations Database has 1K ratings behind it against 95, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 92% of MH Generations Database's written reviews are positive against 94% of GameCat's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
