MyHomeBlock is an iOS home storage app that turns your inventory into a 3D storage map. Build homes, floors, rooms, furniture, shelves, drawers, compartments, and temporary storage, then place each item where it belongs. When you need medicine, receipts, collectibles, electronics, cosmetics, food, documents, or valuables, you can see both the item record and its real location at home. Key Features • 3D Storage Map View your home as a warm miniature 3D model. Switch between homes and floors, inspect furniture, choose compartments, and highlight the exact location of an item. Use "Show in Space" from an item row to jump to its storage spot. • Structured Inventory Manage items by Home - Floor - Room - Furniture/Compartment - Item. Add, edit, move, delete, search, filter, multi-select, bulk move, bulk tag, and bulk delete. If a home, room, or furniture piece is removed, related items can stay in Temporary Storage. • Room and Furniture Editing Create multi-floor homes, edit floor plans, make L-shaped rooms, add doors and windows, choose floor materials and wall colors, place and rotate furniture, resize storage, and arrange stacked storage layers. Built-in templates help you start quickly. • Detailed Item Records Record name, category, quantity, photo, tags, expiry date, manufacture date, estimated value, purchase price, purchase channel, and receipt photo. Expiry tracking helps with food, medicine, and cosmetics. Value and receipt records help with collectibles, electronics, valuables, and documents. • Dashboard, Reminders, Widgets, and Backup Track total value, category charts, item quantities, expiring items, storage completeness, and organizing suggestions. Set local expiry reminders and use Home Screen widgets for inventory overview, expiry alerts, and quick actions. Export/import backup packages and save or restore the latest iCloud Drive backup.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Floating Maps at none against MyHomeBlock's 5. Floating Maps also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). MyHomeBlock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
