# Petcube vs Pet Tutor Blu

The clearest difference is rating: Petcube at 3.7 against Pet Tutor Blu's 2.6. Petcube also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 9) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Pet Tutor Blu's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (33% vs 25%). On price, ads and in-app purchases 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 2.6. 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: 25% of Petcube's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pet Tutor Blu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Petcube ships an update fortnightly, Pet Tutor Blu every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
