Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Ferguson Home at none against IKEA's shown. IKEA's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (148K vs 11K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Ferguson Home against 4.8 for IKEA. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IKEA has 148K ratings behind it against 11K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 50% of Ferguson Home's written reviews are positive against 54% of IKEA's.
Ferguson Home ships an update every 3 months, IKEA every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
