# Bad Cats HD vs Lollipops

The clearest difference is ads: Bad Cats HD at none against Lollipops's shown. Bad Cats HD also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Lollipops's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Bad Cats HD holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lollipops has 3.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Bad Cats HD's written reviews are positive against 88% of Lollipops's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Bad Cats HD ships an update every 4 months, Lollipops every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
