Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: BarbarQ at 4.5 against 爱养成2's 3.4. BarbarQ also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 16) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). 爱养成2's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. 爱养成2 sells 15 one-off in-app purchases and BarbarQ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BarbarQ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BarbarQ has 1.7K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of 爱养成2's written reviews are positive against 56% of BarbarQ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

爱养成2 ships an update every 2 months, BarbarQ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
