The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on ads, with many players expressing frustration over the sheer volume and frequency of advertisements, which often disrupt gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, many feel that significant progress is only achievable through constant ad viewing or by purchasing an ad-free experience, which can be costly. Overall, the game is seen as a typical example of a "pay-to-win" model, where in-app purchases are necessary for a smoother experience, but the execution leaves much to be desired due to technical issues and excessive ad interruptions.

- “Cute and fun to play, recommends microtransactions frequently but that's to be expected.”
- “Great game, I paid for the no ads.. it's a great game all around so far.”
- “For real, in-game progress has two options: pay or watch a lot of ads; it's a traditional pay-to-win.”
- “You will literally just spend all your time watching ads!”
- “The game might be fun, but spending 90% of the time watching ads isn't fun.”
