# Disco Ducks vs Simon's Cat

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Simon's Cat at 53K against Disco Ducks's 996. Simon's Cat also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Disco Ducks sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Simon's Cat sells 12 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Simon's Cat holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simon's Cat has 53K ratings behind it against 996, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Disco Ducks's written reviews are positive against 87% of Simon's Cat's.

Disco Ducks ships an update every 2 months, Simon's Cat every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
