# USB vs Home Gateway App

The clearest difference is rating: USB at 2.0 against Home Gateway App's 1.0. USB also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (29 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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.
