Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pet Zero at none against Petcove's shown. Pet Zero also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Petcove's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pet Zero has 3.5K ratings behind it against 403, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pet Zero's written reviews are positive against 63% of Petcove's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
