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.
Hostify holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Hostify's written reviews are positive against 20% of SiteMinder's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hostify ships an update every 11 days, SiteMinder monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
