# Petcube vs Petory

The clearest difference is rating: Petcube at 3.7 against Petory's 3.0. Petcube also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 11 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 15). Petory's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 26%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Petcube holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Petcube has 1K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Petcube's written reviews are positive against 56% of Petory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Petcube ships an update fortnightly, Petory every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
