How we compared
We checked public official product pages and US app-store listings on August 20, 2026. We compare advertised product facts, not clinical outcomes. We did not count a feature unless the source named it clearly. Language lists come from the App Store metadata; “not declared” means Apple returned no language list. Local prices, promotions and feature availability can change.
- Prices are shown as published; “free” does not imply every feature is free.
- Language counts come from store metadata where available.
- AI health features are screening or organizational tools and do not replace a veterinarian.
