Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dreamehome at 4.8 against iRobot's 3.0. Dreamehome also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 2). iRobot's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dreamehome holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dreamehome has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iRobot's written reviews are positive against 60% of Dreamehome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iRobot ships an update monthly, Dreamehome fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
