View policyFrequently Asked Questions
Is ZEPETO free to download and use? high
Yes, ZEPETO is free to download and use. According to the app listing, there are no forced ads. However, the app includes in-app purchases ranging from $0.29 to $409.99 per item. Two recent reviews confirm that while the app is ad-free, many clothing items and other features require purchase with gems (a premium currency).

Why are items in ZEPETO so expensive? medium
Several recent reviewers mention that clothing and room items are expensive. A 5-star reviewer called the gem requirement for most clothing items 'kind of annoying,' and a 4-star reviewer stated they have a 'cheap outfit' because 'those things are expensive.' The app's listed in-app purchase range ($0.29 - $409.99 per item) supports the idea that premium items can be costly.

Does ZEPETO have ads? high

Can I be a VTuber or stream on ZEPETO? high
Yes. The app description states you can 'start your VTuber journey on ZEPETO' by creating a unique avatar and livestreaming on mobile or PC. A recent reviewer who identifies as a 'verified creator' also notes the app is good for people who want to do dances and create content without showing their face online. However, one reviewer reported having difficulty starting their own livestream.

Is my account secure on ZEPETO? low
The app requires a Teen content rating, but one recent 1-star reviewer reported that their password, email, and phone number were changed without their consent, and they were unable to change these settings themselves. This is a single-user report and may not represent a widespread security issue.

1★The app is good but at the same time when my WiFi is perfectly fine it says network error or just kicks me out the app when I'm trying to get in, and on my life. CHANGE THE INFO SETTINGS. My Password, email, phone number had all been changed! and can't change it what so ever. Also The game runs slow in terms on Android users, and a lot of people could agree. The app is good in some ways but has tons of problems.

5★I think it is pretty good they are no ads but does one detail. you have to pay money for gems which most clothing items are bought with. so that's is kind of annoying. I mean I like it. you can make posts, but what's the real point? there's no like hey, come on over here. let's do a quest. but they are not very fun. so I would Max suggest getting it if you don't like to make posts or play with other people so honestly I think it's very fun. my name is aphmau. please if you get on follow me!

5★I'm a verified creator, this is more of a social media than a game. it's basically perfect for someone who would love to do dances and stuff but doesn't want themselves showing online. you have an avatar that can do the dances for you! you'll learn great editing skills and so much more!! they even sometimes have editing classes just to help you! they have lovely events and more! id suggest this to anyone who'd like to dance but not with their body!! but an online avatar where you can show off!

4★ZEPETO is an awesome game! No adds, you basically have your own youtube account but it's your avatar doing the dances exc. You can chat with people, have your own room to decorate and you can play mini games. I have a cheap outfit and a cheep room because those things are expensive. ZEPETO is a little confusing at first but you'll figure it out. Also, when I make a videot sometimes logs me out to my home screen, please fix this issue ZEPETO team. Overall I recommend ZEPETO.

2★The app is wonderful. I absolutely love it. but recently not so much. i have problems with the audio finding. I also having problems with Livestreaming. I have the required amount of internet speed, I can join others live stream, but I can't start my own. I also have a HUGE problem with the candy slime and sometimes the benefits. WHY DO I NEED A PHONE NUMBER TO VERIFY MY IDENTITY FOR AN IN GAME GAME? if you need it that bad, give an email option!! i ain't giving a phone number !!!!
