Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Buildium at 4.7 against ShowMojo's 3.4. Buildium also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 37) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). ShowMojo's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium) and review sentiment (38% vs 24%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
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.
Buildium holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Buildium has 4.5K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Buildium's written reviews are positive against 38% of ShowMojo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Buildium ships an update fortnightly, ShowMojo every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
