# Home Design 3D vs SecondFloor

The clearest difference is monetization model: Home Design 3D at free with in-app purchases against SecondFloor's subscription. Home Design 3D also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 17) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). SecondFloor's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Design 3D sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and SecondFloor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Home Design 3D against 4.2 for SecondFloor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Design 3D has 1.5K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 57% of Home Design 3D's written reviews are positive against 60% of SecondFloor's.

Home Design 3D ships an update every 2 weeks, SecondFloor fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
