# PETA vs Veggie Challenge

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.

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.
