# Spa Master vs Cat Spa

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cat Spa at 76% against Spa Master's 25%. Cat Spa also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Spa Master's advantage is ratings volume (48K vs 8.2K) and iOS requirement (12.5 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Spa Master sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Cat Spa sells 14 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat Spa holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Spa Master has 48K ratings behind it against 8.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Spa Master's written reviews are positive against 76% of Cat Spa's.

Spa Master ships an update every 6 weeks, Cat Spa monthly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
