Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Septekon at 4.7 against Home V's 4.2. Septekon also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 368). Home V's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Septekon holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Septekon has 4.3K ratings behind it against 368, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Septekon's written reviews are positive against 49% of Home V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Septekon ships an update every 2 months, Home V every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
