# PostNL vs HomeWizard Energy

PostNL and HomeWizard Energy both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of HomeWizard Energy's written reviews are positive against 21% of PostNL's. HomeWizard Energy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). PostNL's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 92). On price, rating, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HomeWizard Energy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. PostNL asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for PostNL against 4.6 for HomeWizard Energy.
