Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: HomeHawk at 4.4 against Bosma's 4.0. HomeHawk also leads on ratings volume (2.5K vs 695). Bosma's advantage is review sentiment (49% vs 23%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). 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.
HomeHawk holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2.5K and 695 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of HomeHawk's written reviews are positive against 49% of Bosma's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HomeHawk ships an update every 3 months, Bosma monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
