Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Shipshape Home holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shipshape Home has 38 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Shipshape Home's written reviews are positive against 100% of iBASEMENT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shipshape Home ships an update fortnightly, iBASEMENT every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
