# IKEA vs At Home Stores

The clearest difference is ads: At Home Stores at none against IKEA's shown. At Home Stores also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). IKEA's advantage is ratings volume (151K vs 866) and chart position (#52 vs #205). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for IKEA against 4.8 for At Home Stores. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IKEA has 151K ratings behind it against 866, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of IKEA's written reviews are positive against 47% of At Home Stores's.
