# Stack Cats vs Cat Dash

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stack Cats at none against Cat Dash's 10. Stack Cats also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 66%). Cat Dash's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 33) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat Dash sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Stack Cats asks for nothing beyond the download.

Cat Dash holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Dash has 11K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Stack Cats's written reviews are positive against 66% of Cat Dash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Stack Cats ships an update every 3 weeks, Cat Dash every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
