# Craft vs The Cat Box

The clearest difference is update cadence: The Cat Box at every 2 days against Craft's every 11 days. Craft's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Craft sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and The Cat Box sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

The Cat Box holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Craft has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Craft ships an update every 11 days, The Cat Box every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
