Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Home Locator at 4.7 against TikMe's 3.0. Home Locator also leads on ratings volume (58 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). TikMe's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 42%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Home Locator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Locator has 58 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of TikMe's written reviews are positive against 42% of Home Locator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TikMe ships an update fortnightly, Home Locator every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
