# Catch and Feed vs Patient Zero

The clearest difference is rating: Patient Zero at 4.6 against Catch and Feed's 1.4. Patient Zero also leads on review sentiment (27% vs 8%) and ratings volume (5K vs 461). Catch and Feed's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Catch and Feed sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Patient Zero sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Patient Zero holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Patient Zero has 5K ratings behind it against 461, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 8% of Catch and Feed's written reviews are positive against 27% of Patient Zero's.

Catch and Feed ships an update fortnightly, Patient Zero every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
