Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RunLoyal Pet Resort at 75% against Petcube's 25%. RunLoyal Pet Resort also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Petcube's advantage is ratings volume (1K vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
