Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Home holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Home's written reviews are positive against 100% of POWERbot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Home ships an update every 17 months, POWERbot every 20 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
