# SohoAI vs Flatmates

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SohoAI at 92% against Flatmates's 16%. SohoAI also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Flatmates's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flatmates sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. SohoAI asks for nothing beyond the download.

Flatmates holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flatmates has 57 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of SohoAI's written reviews are positive against 16% of Flatmates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SohoAI ships an update fortnightly, Flatmates every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
