Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Modern Sprout at 4.3 against RainPoint Home's 2.1. Modern Sprout also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). RainPoint Home's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Modern Sprout holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 118 and 66 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Modern Sprout's written reviews are positive against 21% of RainPoint Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Modern Sprout ships an update every 13 months, RainPoint Home every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
