# Endless Doves vs Nom Cat

The clearest difference is update cadence: Nom Cat at every 5 weeks against Endless Doves's every 11 months. Nom Cat also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (85% vs 64%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Endless Doves sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Nom Cat sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Nom Cat holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nom Cat has 1.1K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Endless Doves's written reviews are positive against 85% of Nom Cat's.

Endless Doves ships an update every 11 months, Nom Cat every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 17, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
