# Terrapets vs Neo Monsters

The clearest difference is ads: Terrapets at none against Neo Monsters's shown. Terrapets also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.0). Neo Monsters's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 42%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Terrapets sells 18 one-off in-app purchases and Neo Monsters sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
