PetStar vs ilovemypets.ai: Which Pet App? (2026)

PetStar is one of the best-known pet video apps: its App Store listing showed 4.8 stars from about 8,600 ratings on 15 October 2026. It does one thing well: it turns a photo of your dog or cat into a music video where they sing and dance to a song. ilovemypets.ai covers singing and dancing too, but it's built around your pet's own voice, the one that also talks, duets with you and answers live video calls.

What is a pet music video app?

A pet music video app animates a photo of your pet so they lip-sync and move to a song, then exports a short video to share. Some apps stop there; others also let your pet talk in their own voice. For the wider field, see the AI singing pet video makers.
