Both are free to download. Streetpass sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Cactos asks for nothing beyond the download.
Cactos holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cactos has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Cactos's written reviews are positive against 79% of Streetpass's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
