# Home vs Expenses

The clearest difference is rating: Expenses at 4.8 against Home's 3.8. Expenses also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 4) and device support (4 vs 2). Home's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Expenses sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Home asks for nothing beyond the download.

Expenses holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Expenses has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Home's written reviews are positive against 87% of Expenses's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
