Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Petcube at 3.7 against Soliom's 1.7. Petcube also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 64) and review sentiment (25% vs 13%). Soliom's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
