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. U sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Cat Buddy asks for nothing beyond the download.
U holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Buddy has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of U's written reviews are positive against 56% of Cat Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
U ships an update every 5 weeks, Cat Buddy every 9 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
