# Cat On Chair vs Sit Still

The clearest difference is rating: Cat On Chair at 4.9 against Sit Still's 4.5. Cat On Chair also leads on ratings volume (475 vs 2). Sit Still's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat On Chair sells 44 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Sit Still sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat On Chair holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat On Chair has 475 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Cat On Chair's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sit Still's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cat On Chair ships an update weekly, Sit Still every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
