Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Zookemon at fortnightly against Monster Trainer's every 4 months. Zookemon also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (46K vs 3.4K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Zookemon sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Monster Trainer sells 19 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Zookemon holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zookemon has 46K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 55% and 54% positive.
Zookemon ships an update fortnightly, Monster Trainer every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
