Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My PetSafe® at 59% against Clorox Pool's 14%. My PetSafe® also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Clorox Pool's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (29K vs 794). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Clorox Pool holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clorox Pool has 29K ratings behind it against 794, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Clorox Pool's written reviews are positive against 59% of My PetSafe®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clorox Pool ships an update every 2 months, My PetSafe® every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
