Verdict

The call

Sub and Level Home both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 46% of Level Home's written reviews are positive against 15% of Sub's. Level Home also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Sub's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
