# Zoologic vs DIY Factory

The clearest difference is rating: DIY Factory at 4.6 against Zoologic's 3.9. DIY Factory also leads on ratings volume (7.2K vs 176) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Zoologic's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zoologic sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and DIY Factory sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DIY Factory holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DIY Factory has 7.2K ratings behind it against 176, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Zoologic's written reviews are positive against 42% of DIY Factory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zoologic ships an update every 2 months, DIY Factory every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
