Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: BitLife at 1.8M against Cat Simulator 2's 17K. BitLife also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#11 vs unranked). Cat Simulator 2's advantage is review sentiment (72% vs 51%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads 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. Cat Simulator 2 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and BitLife sells 20 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Cat Simulator 2 against 4.8 for BitLife. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BitLife has 1.8M ratings behind it against 17K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Cat Simulator 2's written reviews are positive against 51% of BitLife's.
Cat Simulator 2 ships an update every 2 months, BitLife every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
