# Cat Spa vs Fluff

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Cat Spa at 76% against Fluff's 31%. Cat Spa also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.2) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 61). Fluff's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat Spa sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and Fluff sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat Spa holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Spa has 8.2K ratings behind it against 61, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of Cat Spa's written reviews are positive against 31% of Fluff's.

Cat Spa ships an update every 3 weeks, Fluff every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
