Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Perch Door Sim at 100% against Intercom Anywhere's 11%. Perch Door Sim also leads on iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0).

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Intercom Anywhere holds the better App Store score, 3.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intercom Anywhere has 84 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of Intercom Anywhere's written reviews are positive against 100% of Perch Door Sim's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Intercom Anywhere ships an update every 3 months, Perch Door Sim every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
