Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Latch App at 155K against GreenThumbHome's 1. Latch App also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.1). GreenThumbHome's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
