Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OpenGov EAM at 3.4 against FHinspector's 2.4. OpenGov EAM also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (38 vs 7). FHinspector's advantage is review sentiment (32% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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.
OpenGov EAM holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OpenGov EAM has 38 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of FHinspector's written reviews are positive against 20% of OpenGov EAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FHinspector ships an update every 5 months, OpenGov EAM every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
