# Stack Cats vs Meow Stack

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stack Cats at none against Meow Stack's 13. Stack Cats also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (89% vs 55%). Meow Stack's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (337 vs 30). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meow Stack sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Stack Cats asks for nothing beyond the download.

Meow Stack holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meow Stack has 337 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Stack Cats's written reviews are positive against 55% of Meow Stack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
