Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Square at 4.8 against Savvy Pet Spa's 2.0. Square also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 1). Savvy Pet Spa's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Square holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square has 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Square's written reviews are positive against 33% of Savvy Pet Spa's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Square ships an update weekly, Savvy Pet Spa every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
