Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pet Cloud at 4.8 against SalinasConnect's 2.6. Pet Cloud also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (9.8K vs 13). SalinasConnect's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pet Cloud holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pet Cloud has 9.8K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Pet Cloud's written reviews are positive against 33% of SalinasConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pet Cloud ships an update weekly, SalinasConnect every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
