# Home vs SmartKi Access

The clearest difference is update cadence: SmartKi Access at every 4 weeks against Home's every 17 months. Home's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Home against 5.0 for SmartKi Access. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Home ships an update every 17 months, SmartKi Access every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and June 22, 2026 respectively.
