# StarEye vs weihome

The clearest difference is rating: StarEye at 3.0 against weihome's 1.9. StarEye also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). weihome's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 18) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StarEye sells 16 one-off in-app purchases. weihome asks for nothing beyond the download.

StarEye holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of StarEye's written reviews are positive against 14% of weihome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
