Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Construction Connect at 5.0 against Houzz Pro's 4.6. Construction Connect also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Houzz Pro's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 1) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
