# Home Design Makeover vs My First Makeover

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Home Design Makeover at 130K against My First Makeover's 3K. Home Design Makeover also leads on chart position (#145 vs unranked). My First Makeover's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). 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 My First Makeover sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My First Makeover holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Design Makeover has 130K ratings behind it against 3K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
