Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rent at 2.7 against Plate · Homes's 2.0. Rent also leads on ratings volume (7 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Plate · Homes's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
