Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Guess 'em at 4.8 against Cats Spot the Difference's 3.9. Cats Spot the Difference's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 31 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Guess 'em holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cats Spot the Difference has 444 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Guess 'em's written reviews are positive against 47% of Cats Spot the Difference's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Guess 'em ships an update every 31 months, Cats Spot the Difference every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
