The clearest difference is rating: My Kitten (Cat Simulator) at 4.5 against Talking Tyler's 3.9. Talking Tyler's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 69%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Talking Tyler sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and My Kitten (Cat Simulator) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Kitten (Cat Simulator) holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 517 and 243 respectively.
