Verdict

The call

August Home and DuroMod both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of DuroMod's written reviews are positive against 30% of August Home's. DuroMod also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6.1). August Home's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months). On rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
