# Pet Control vs PetFetch

The clearest difference is monetization model: PetFetch at free with in-app purchases against Pet Control's subscription. PetFetch also leads on review sentiment (76% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). Pet Control's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pet Control sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and PetFetch sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pet Control holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PetFetch has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Pet Control's written reviews are positive against 76% of PetFetch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pet Control ships an update every 5 months, PetFetch every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
