Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Buildium at 4.7 against ShowMojo's 3.3. Buildium also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 35) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). ShowMojo's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (35% vs 23%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Buildium holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buildium has 4.5K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Buildium's written reviews are positive against 35% of ShowMojo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Buildium ships an update fortnightly, ShowMojo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
