They're cute, they're fluffy and they love to play! Care for a flock of adorable little sheep in this excessively cute and charming sandbox game! The fluffy and sweet balls of wool love it when you play and interact with them. Adorable as they may be, they´re not very smart. If there's a poisonous mushroom, they'll eat it. When the sun is shining, they'll just stand there until they have a heatstroke - and when the weather turns bad, they'll happily stand under thunderclouds and rain until they catch a cold or get struck by thunder and lightning. If you keep them healthy and entertained, they'll reward you with Happy Stars and make lots of little black and white baby sheep. Features: - FREE TO PLAY - Heart-meltingly cute graphics - Interact with adorable sheep - Manipulate clouds and weather - Innovative casual life simulation - Countless bonus items, toys and gadgets - More than 60 dynamic challenges - Colourful settings - Open-ended gameplay You can play Clouds & Sheep entirely for FREE, though various items are available via in-app purchase. If you don’t want to use in-app purchases, please deactivate them in your device settings. Thank you for playing Clouds & Sheep!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Clouds & Sheep at none against The Trail's shown. Clouds & Sheep also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). The Trail's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (26K vs 958). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. Clouds & Sheep sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and The Trail sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Trail holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Trail has 26K ratings behind it against 958, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Clouds & Sheep's written reviews are positive against 71% of The Trail's.
Clouds & Sheep ships an update every 7 months, The Trail fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
