Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Northwest MLS at 4.8 against CORE Open House's 3.7. Northwest MLS also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (342 vs 58). CORE Open House's advantage is review sentiment (48% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Northwest MLS holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Northwest MLS has 342 ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of CORE Open House's written reviews are positive against 20% of Northwest MLS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CORE Open House ships an update every 6 weeks, Northwest MLS every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
