Cutaroo is a daily precision cutting game where you use scissors to cut along a shape outline for a score that factors in your accuracy and time. You can earn coins from each cut that can be used to customize your avatar or buy different types of fun scissors. There are two unique game features, Cut Quest and the Daily Shape Contest. Daily Shape Contest: A new shape every day that tests your cutting skills against the rest of the world. You get unlimited attempts on the Daily Shape to try and climb the leaderboard for the high score and earn coins. Cut Quest: Explore different themed maps, levels and shapes in Cut Quest. Earn stars on each shape to unlock the next level and the next map. Work your way across the maps at your own pace, no daily timer involved. You can earn a coin bonus on each cut in Cut Quest as well. Bonus Shapes: Score 900+ in the Daily Shape Contest on a single cut, or 25,000 points total from all cuts in the Daily Shape contest, and a second shape unlocks for the day. The coin bonuses on this shape will be double while it's unlocked for the day. Once a new day starts, you'll have to unlock the new bonus shape again. Make it Yours: Coins from every cut go toward scissor skins, avatar accessories and expressions. Build a daily play streak, Collect the badges from leaderboard finishes, and climb the levels all the way to CEO. Cutaroo is free and no account needed to play — start cutting in one tap.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Cutaroo at none against Meowlody's shown. Meowlody's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Meowlody against 5.0 for Cutaroo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meowlody has 11K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
