# Cat Simulator 2 vs Custom Cats Online

The clearest difference is rating: Cat Simulator 2 at 4.7 against Custom Cats Online's 3.7. Cat Simulator 2 also leads on ratings volume (17K vs 7). Custom Cats Online's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cat Simulator 2 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Custom Cats Online sells 8 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cat Simulator 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Simulator 2 has 17K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Cat Simulator 2's written reviews are positive against 91% of Custom Cats Online's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Cat Simulator 2 ships an update every 2 months, Custom Cats Online fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
