There’s a monster in your phone. Close it, and a pair of silly eyes stares back at you from the cover screen. Tap them and they jump. Open it, and the inside display becomes a mouth. The jaws follow the hinge: fold the Duo a little and the teeth come together, snap it shut and it CHOMPS, with a crunch and a thump you can feel. Tap the mouth to bite, or drag to squeeze it shut. Pick your monster: • Cartoon: big purple grin and googly eyes • Softie: buck teeth and rosy cheeks • Organic: slimy fangs and a swamp-green hide • Mimic: a treasure chest with teeth, gold coins and a tentacle inside • Classic: a very human smile • Pumpkin: a carved jack-o'-lantern grin, lit from inside, seeds and all Every monster has its own eyes, its own teeth, its own sounds and its own inside. Tilt the phone and the face moves with you. No iPhone Duo? It works on any iPhone with iOS 27: tap the eyes twice and the mouth opens. Cartoon is free. A one-time purchase unlocks the other five monsters. No ads, no subscription, no account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WatchPal at none against ChompDuo's 1. WatchPal also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 27.0). ChompDuo's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChompDuo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. WatchPal asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for WatchPal against 5.0 for ChompDuo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WatchPal has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
WatchPal ships an update every 2 weeks, ChompDuo daily. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
