ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Blueair holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20K and 23K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of PETKIT's written reviews are positive against 26% of Blueair's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PETKIT ships an update fortnightly, Blueair every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
