The verdict

Buy the Whisker Litter-Robot 4 if you want the better overall package — it leads the PetScore 90 to 78 and is the stronger fit for multi-cat households done scooping.

Buy the PetSnowy SNOW+ if its strengths match your household — it's built for anti-tracking design, watch the liner costs. It's also the cheaper one to own: $963 vs $1,131 over three years, a gap of $168 that may settle the question by itself. Either way, the receipts are on each device's true-cost page.
