# Hearthstone vs Super Auto Pets

The clearest difference is rating: Super Auto Pets at 4.6 against Hearthstone's 4.1. Super Auto Pets also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 36%). Hearthstone's advantage is ratings volume (122K vs 4.3K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hearthstone sells 21 one-off in-app purchases and Super Auto Pets sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Super Auto Pets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hearthstone has 122K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of Hearthstone's written reviews are positive against 70% of Super Auto Pets's.

Hearthstone ships an update fortnightly, Super Auto Pets every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
