# Home Design Makeover vs Project Makeover

Home Design Makeover and Project Makeover both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 46% of Project Makeover's written reviews are positive against 28% of Home Design Makeover's. Project Makeover also leads on chart position (#11 vs #156) and ratings volume (799K vs 129K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Design Makeover sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Project Makeover sells 18 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Home Design Makeover against 4.5 for Project Makeover. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Project Makeover has 799K ratings behind it against 129K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 28% of Home Design Makeover's written reviews are positive against 46% of Project Makeover's.
