Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IT8500 Plus at 100% against GHome's 35%. IT8500 Plus also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 14.0). GHome's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (80K vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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.
GHome holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GHome has 80K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of GHome's written reviews are positive against 100% of IT8500 Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
