# Pet Bits vs Dog Simulator

The clearest difference is rating: Dog Simulator at 4.8 against Pet Bits's 4.2. Dog Simulator also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 55%) and ratings volume (11K vs 5). Pet Bits's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dog Simulator sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Pet Bits asks for nothing beyond the download.

Dog Simulator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog Simulator has 11K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of Pet Bits's written reviews are positive against 81% of Dog Simulator's.
