# Home V vs Smartz Eaze

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Home V at 51% against Smartz Eaze's 9%. Home V also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Smartz Eaze's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and chart position (#177 vs unranked). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home V sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Smartz Eaze sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smartz Eaze holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 368 and 1.1K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Home V's written reviews are positive against 9% of Smartz Eaze's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
