# Pat Cat vs Hermit Crab Simulator

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Pat Cat at 10.0 against Hermit Crab Simulator's 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pat Cat sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Hermit Crab Simulator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
