Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Avidsen Home at 68% against Yris's 32%. Yris's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Yris holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yris has 540 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Avidsen Home's written reviews are positive against 32% of Yris's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Avidsen Home ships an update every 11 months, Yris every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
