# I Ching Lite vs Home Catalog

The clearest difference is ratings volume: I Ching Lite at 1.1K against Home Catalog's 4. I Ching Lite also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Home Catalog's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. I Ching Lite sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Home Catalog sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for I Ching Lite against 5.0 for Home Catalog. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: I Ching Lite has 1.1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of I Ching Lite's written reviews are positive against 100% of Home Catalog's.

I Ching Lite ships an update every 3 months, Home Catalog every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
