# Happy Kitten vs Rad Trails!

The clearest difference is rating: Rad Trails! at 4.6 against Happy Kitten's 4.0. Rad Trails! also leads on ratings volume (629 vs 58). Happy Kitten's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (58% vs 34%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Happy Kitten sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Rad Trails! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rad Trails! holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rad Trails! has 629 ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Happy Kitten's written reviews are positive against 34% of Rad Trails!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Happy Kitten ships an update monthly, Rad Trails! every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
