Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Veggie Challenge at every 2 weeks against PETA's every 2 months. Veggie Challenge also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). PETA's advantage is ratings volume (1.6K vs 122) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for PETA against 4.8 for Veggie Challenge. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PETA has 1.6K ratings behind it against 122, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 95% of PETA's written reviews are positive against 91% of Veggie Challenge's.
PETA ships an update every 2 months, Veggie Challenge every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
