Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: myPWS at 566 against HomeAtmo's 8. HomeAtmo's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
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. HomeAtmo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and myPWS sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
HomeAtmo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myPWS has 566 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of HomeAtmo's written reviews are positive against 71% of myPWS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HomeAtmo ships an update monthly, myPWS every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
