5 Alternatives to the KITPLUS Automatic Cat Litter Box

People usually look for alternatives when the original is out of stock, the price has crept up, or they want a better fit for their cat’s size, noise tolerance, or home setup. The KITPLUS is good value on paper, but the right choice depends on things like app reliability, safety sensors, odour control, and how easy it is to keep clean day to day.

1) PETKIT PURA MAX 2 — Best for buyers who want a premium, well-known smart litter box and are happy to pay for it. Compared with the KITPLUS, the PETKIT offers a much larger 76L capacity, stronger odour control with N50, and an impressive 11 safety sensors, which should reassure owners of curious cats. The app control is a major plus if you like tracking usage, but it’s also a far pricier option than the KITPLUS. What’s better: build quality, safety features, and multi-cat suitability. What’s worse: the higher price and a more complex system than many households really need. Choose this if you want a top-tier unit and value peace of mind over saving money.

2) PetPivot Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Tray — Best budget-friendly rival for similar money. At £167.94, it undercuts the KITPLUS slightly while offering a top opening design and both automatic and manual modes. That makes it appealing if you want something simple and easy to scoop, especially for larger cats or owners who prefer hands-on control. Compared with the KITPLUS, it may feel a bit less polished in app-led convenience, but it’s a practical choice for multi-cat homes. What’s better: price, open access, and easy scooping. What’s worse: less emphasis on advanced smart features and odour management. Choose this if you want straightforward function without paying extra for bells and whistles.

3) Devoko 90L Self Cleaning Cat Litter Tray — Best for larger households and cats that need space. The 90L capacity is a clear advantage over the KITPLUS, especially if you have multiple cats or a bigger breed that dislikes cramped litter spaces. It also includes six safety sensors and app control, so it’s aiming for the same smart-litter-box crowd as the KITPLUS but with more room inside. What’s better: size, multi-cat suitability, and safety coverage. What’s worse: it costs a bit more, and larger units can take up more floor space and sometimes be noisier during cycling. Choose this if capacity matters more than getting the cheapest option.

4) FEELNEEDY Odor Control Cat Litter Box — Best if odour control and monitoring are priorities. This model offers app real-time monitoring and a 65L capacity, which is slightly more compact than some rivals but still suitable for multi-cat use. Against the KITPLUS, it looks like a more feature-rich monitoring option, though its included accessories are modest with just one trash bag. What’s better: app monitoring and odour-focused design. What’s worse: smaller capacity than the biggest alternatives and less generous extras. Choose this if you want to keep a closer eye on cleaning cycles and waste levels through the app.

5) Gimars Open Top Design Self Cleaning Litter Box — Best all-round alternative for owners who like the open-top style. At £169.89, it’s almost the same price as the KITPLUS, but it adds a litter mat and trash bags, plus safety sensors and app control. It’s especially appealing for senior cats and multiple-cat households because the open design can feel less intimidating and easier to enter. Compared with the KITPLUS, it looks like a very close match on value, with slightly stronger accessory support and a 4.5★ rating. What’s better: open-top comfort, included extras, and a stronger rating. What’s worse: it may not offer the same waste-bin capacity as the larger premium units. Choose this if your cat prefers open access and you want a similar-price upgrade with better user feedback.

Overall, the best alternative depends on whether you want the cheapest near-match, the biggest capacity, or the safest premium option. For most UK buyers, the Gimars and PetPivot are the closest value comparisons, while PETKIT is the upgrade pick if budget isn’t a concern.

Still Buy the Original If...

The KITPLUS is still a sensible buy if you want the lowest price of the group and like the open-top, app-controlled design. It’s also a good option if your cat is already comfortable with open litter trays and you mainly want a simple self-cleaning setup.
