Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iQua at 4.7 against ELEGRP HOME's 3.4. iQua also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 23). ELEGRP HOME's advantage is review sentiment (43% vs 15%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iQua holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iQua has 1K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of iQua's written reviews are positive against 43% of ELEGRP HOME's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iQua ships an update every 6 weeks, ELEGRP HOME every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
