# Nom Cat vs Pigeon Pooo

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pigeon Pooo at none against Nom Cat's 10. Nom Cat's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 23 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 5). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nom Cat sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Pigeon Pooo asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pigeon Pooo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nom Cat has 1.2K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Nom Cat's written reviews are positive against 80% of Pigeon Pooo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Nom Cat ships an update every 5 weeks, Pigeon Pooo every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
