Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: CloudEdge at 21K against Home V's 368. CloudEdge also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 51%) and chart position (#80 vs unranked). Home V's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudEdge sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Home V sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for CloudEdge against 4.2 for Home V. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudEdge has 21K ratings behind it against 368, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of CloudEdge's written reviews are positive against 51% of Home V's.
CloudEdge ships an update every 2 weeks, Home V every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
