Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YouGov at none against Modern Cat's 10. YouGov also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 3). Modern Cat's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (50% vs 42%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Modern Cat sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.49 per year. YouGov asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Modern Cat holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YouGov has 6.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Modern Cat's written reviews are positive against 42% of YouGov's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Modern Cat ships an update every 7 months, YouGov fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
