Know What You Own. MyOwnIQ is the AI-powered ownership intelligence app that knows your stuff better than you do — and helps you do something about it. Point your camera at any space — pantry shelf, toolbox, closet, junk drawer — and the AI inventories everything it sees. From that moment, your stuff is findable, trackable, and manageable through natural conversation. SCAN IT Sweep the camera across any space. AI identifies, names, categorizes, and catalogs every item instantly. No typing. No tagging. Just capture. Prefer to go item by item? SNAP mode lets you photograph one thing at a time instead. FIND IT "Where is my buzzsaw?" Ask in plain language. MyOwnIQ knows which space, which shelf, and shows you the proof. NEED IT Standing in the grocery store? Check before you buy. 3 cans of tomato sauce at home. Put it back. LOSE IT Haven't touched those ski boots in 2 years? MyOwnIQ notices. The Purge Engine flags what's gone stale, drafts a fair-market-value donation receipt the moment you give something away, or writes you a ready-to-post resale listing when you'd rather sell it. KNOW YOUR HOME Every home has a history — now it's in one place. Log repairs, improvements, and replacements in each property's Work Log, with who did the work and how long it's under warranty. Add install years and warranties to your water heater, HVAC, roof, and appliances. The Home History Engine turns it all into a clean report of your home's systems, work done, maintenance, and recalls checked — ready for insurance, selling, or the next owner. THE SMARTIQ ENGINES HUB A growing set of tools built entirely on the inventory you've already scanned — no new data entry: - Recipe Engine — recipe ideas from what's actually in your pantry - Insurance Report Engine — a per-property PDF report, ready for your insurer - Wardrobe Engine — outfit ideas from your own closet, with an optional AI-styled preview - Maintenance & Recalls Engine — recurring upkeep tracking, plus automatic safety recall checks on your registered items - Purge Engine — see LOSE IT above - Home History Engine — see KNOW YOUR HOME above WHAT YOU GET AI camera scan — identify entire shelves in seconds, or snap items one at a time Natural language search — ask anything, find everything Grocery check — stop rebuying what you have SmartIQ Engines Hub — Recipe, Insurance Report, Wardrobe, Maintenance & Recalls, Purge, and Home History Engines Work Log — every repair, improvement, and replacement, with vendors and warranties (free) Keep Forever — exempt items you never want flagged for purge, no matter how long they sit QRIQ label scanning — stick a QR code on any shelf or cabinet for instant one-tap access to that spot Family Sharing — share one property with up to 4 family members (Owner plan) Secure Location lock — Face ID or Touch ID protects sensitive properties YOUR PRIVACY Camera images are sent securely to identify what's in them (the actual AI scan), then discarded — never stored, and only the item record (name, category, value) is kept. Your inventory data is never sold or shared. FREE TIER 1 property, 10 AI scans a month, unlimited items, and the Work Log. Pantry, closet, or garage — fully inventoried at no cost. Upgrade for more properties, more scans, Secure Locations, and the Home History Engine.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: MyOwnIQ at none against QR's shown. MyOwnIQ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). QR's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. QR sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and MyOwnIQ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyOwnIQ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR ships an update fortnightly, MyOwnIQ monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
