Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Petcube at 3.7 against my i's 2.4. Petcube also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 9). my i's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (50% vs 25%). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Petcube holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Petcube has 1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of my i's written reviews are positive against 25% of Petcube's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

my i ships an update every 4 months, Petcube fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
