Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Thrive at UT at none against Homebody's shown. Thrive at UT also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Homebody's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Homebody holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Homebody has 122 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Thrive at UT ships an update every 6 months, Homebody every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
