Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Homes r Us at 98% against Emax's 52%. Homes r Us also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Emax's advantage is rating (3.3 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (20 vs 4). On price and in-app purchases 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.
Emax holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Emax has 20 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Emax's written reviews are positive against 98% of Homes r Us's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Emax ships an update monthly, Homes r Us fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
