Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pet Zero holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pet Zero has 3.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pet Zero's written reviews are positive against 67% of Penthouse Paws's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pet Zero ships an update every 7 months, Penthouse Paws every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
