Keep working with locally stored herd records offline after sign-in and any required account checks. MANAGE YOUR HERD • Create detailed animal profiles with identification, breed, variety, purpose, ownership, photos, notes, and history. • Search and organize active, sold, transferred, and archived animals. • Track weights, health records, schedules, and important dates.

PEDIGREES AND IMPORTS • Pedigrees show the animal with its parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. • Generate polished pedigree PDFs and share them through iOS. • Import from Evans (XML, HTM, or text-based PDF pedigrees) and Everbreed (CSV exports or a public pedigree link). Import options vary by plan. SHOW TOOLS • Prepare rabbit and cavy show entries using breed and age-class rules. • Organize multiple shows in one weekend, review entries, override classes when needed, and hand a completed entry to iOS Mail. • Record show results and winnings with the animal's history.

HERDMASTER does not process or confirm those payments. SYNC, BACKUP, AND CONTROL • iCloud sync is a limited pilot feature. The pilot is temporarily paused, so iCloud sync is not currently available.

Purchasing a plan does not grant pilot access. • Export records and delete your account from inside the app. HERDMASTER accounts must be created and maintained by an adult age 18 or older.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: COTW Companion at none against HERDMASTER RABBIT & CAVY's 7. COTW Companion also leads on ratings volume (230 vs 43) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). HERDMASTER RABBIT & CAVY's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
