# 过期啦 vs PickyCat

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PickyCat at none against 过期啦's 13. PickyCat also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). 过期啦's advantage is ratings volume (227 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating and review sentiment there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 过期啦 sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. PickyCat asks for nothing beyond the download.

PickyCat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.
