Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Onet Pets at 100% against CloseTheBox's 56%. Onet Pets also leads on iOS requirement (7.0 vs 17.6). CloseTheBox's advantage is ratings volume (3.8K vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CloseTheBox holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloseTheBox has 3.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of CloseTheBox's written reviews are positive against 100% of Onet Pets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CloseTheBox ships an update every 8 months, Onet Pets every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
