Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ZHouse at 4.5 against SecondFloor's 4.3. ZHouse also leads on ratings volume (93 vs 16) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. ZHouse sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and SecondFloor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ZHouse holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ZHouse has 93 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of ZHouse's written reviews are positive against 60% of SecondFloor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ZHouse ships an update every 11 days, SecondFloor fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
