Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fleamapket at 100% against TrustedHousesitters's 42%. Fleamapket also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 17.0). TrustedHousesitters's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (17K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TrustedHousesitters holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TrustedHousesitters has 17K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of TrustedHousesitters's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fleamapket's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
