Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Risenmind at 100% against Home Assistant's 54%. Risenmind also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Home Assistant's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (4K vs 1). On ads 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
Home Assistant is free to download; Risenmind costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Risenmind holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Assistant has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Home Assistant's written reviews are positive against 100% of Risenmind's.
