Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CREATE HOME at 3.3 against gov.pt's 1.3. CREATE HOME also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 4%). gov.pt's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
