# 晴天小猫 vs Hamster Life

The clearest difference is rating: Hamster Life at 4.6 against 晴天小猫's 3.2. Hamster Life also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 40%) and ratings volume (746 vs 26). 晴天小猫's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 晴天小猫 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Hamster Life sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hamster Life holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hamster Life has 746 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of 晴天小猫's written reviews are positive against 79% of Hamster Life's.
