# Houzz Pro vs Brivium

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brivium at 100% against Houzz Pro's 20%. Brivium also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 8 days). Houzz Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (5K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Houzz Pro sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month and Brivium sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $32.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brivium holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Houzz Pro has 5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of Houzz Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Brivium's.

Houzz Pro ships an update every 8 days, Brivium every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
