Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: August Home at Free against MoofMate's $9.99. August Home also leads on ratings volume (175K vs 2) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). MoofMate's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (57% vs 30%). On update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

August Home is free to download; MoofMate costs $9.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

August Home holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: August Home has 175K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of August Home's written reviews are positive against 57% of MoofMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

August Home ships an update fortnightly, MoofMate weekly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
