Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ButterflyMX at free against Pet Cloud's free with in-app purchases. ButterflyMX also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 28%) and ratings volume (110K vs 9.8K). Pet Cloud's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
