# Bread vs StockPet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: StockPet at 100% against Bread's 47%. StockPet also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). Bread's advantage is ratings volume (70 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bread sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. StockPet asks for nothing beyond the download.

StockPet holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bread has 70 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 47% of Bread's written reviews are positive against 100% of StockPet's.

Bread ships an update fortnightly, StockPet every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
