# HomeConnect vs ENS Vision

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ENS Vision at 60% against HomeConnect's 7%. ENS Vision also leads on rating (4.8 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (764 vs 80). HomeConnect's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 20 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ENS Vision holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.9.
