# Pawdoll vs Asuna

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pawdoll at free with in-app purchases against Asuna's subscription. Pawdoll also leads on ratings volume (47 vs 3). Asuna's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pawdoll sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Asuna sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Pawdoll against 4.7 for Asuna. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pawdoll has 47 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Pawdoll's written reviews are positive against 100% of Asuna's.

Pawdoll ships an update every 6 months, Asuna fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
