Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LIFULL HOME'S at 4.6 against ietty's 4.2. LIFULL HOME'S also leads on ratings volume (412 vs 6). ietty's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 40%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LIFULL HOME'S holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LIFULL HOME'S has 412 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of LIFULL HOME'S's written reviews are positive against 68% of ietty's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LIFULL HOME'S ships an update fortnightly, ietty every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
