# iPetRock vs CatSeek

The clearest difference is rating: CatSeek at 5.0 against iPetRock's 4.3. CatSeek also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs weekly). iPetRock's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPetRock sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and CatSeek sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CatSeek holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPetRock has 22 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iPetRock ships an update weekly, CatSeek every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
