Verdict

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.
USB holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USB has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of USB's written reviews are positive against 20% of Home Gateway App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
USB ships an update every 5 weeks, Home Gateway App every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
