Verdict
HomeTown Mobile and Gateway Go both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of HomeTown Mobile's written reviews are positive against 75% of Gateway Go's. HomeTown Mobile also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 295). Gateway Go's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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.
Gateway Go holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.4K and 295 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of HomeTown Mobile's written reviews are positive against 75% of Gateway Go's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
