# Manything vs CodHome

The clearest difference is rating: CodHome at 5.0 against Manything's 3.6. CodHome also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 56%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Manything's advantage is ratings volume (388 vs 1) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Manything sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and CodHome sells 36 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodHome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manything has 388 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 56% of Manything's written reviews are positive against 74% of CodHome's.

Manything ships an update every 5 weeks, CodHome every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
