Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Smart home life holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 26 and 70 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Third Reality's written reviews are positive against 8% of Smart home life's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
