Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RoomsX at 100% against Shuggr's 44%. RoomsX also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). Shuggr's advantage is ratings volume (3.5K vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Shuggr sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and RoomsX sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
RoomsX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shuggr has 3.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 44% of Shuggr's written reviews are positive against 100% of RoomsX's.
Shuggr ships an update every 5 weeks, RoomsX every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
