# Design Home™ vs Design Makers

Design Home™ and Design Makers both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Design Makers's written reviews are positive against 49% of Design Home™'s. Design Makers also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Design Home™'s advantage is ratings volume (518K vs 1.1K) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Design Home™ sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Design Makers sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Design Makers holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Design Home™ has 518K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Design Home™'s written reviews are positive against 75% of Design Makers's.

Design Home™ ships an update monthly, Design Makers weekly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
