Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Whisker at 4.8 against Petory's 3.0. Whisker also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (144K vs 15). Petory's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Whisker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Whisker has 144K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Whisker's written reviews are positive against 56% of Petory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Whisker ships an update every 3 weeks, Petory every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
