# Room Check vs Home Detector

The clearest difference is rating: Room Check at 4.3 against Home Detector's 1.0. Room Check also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (106 vs 2). Home Detector's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 14 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Room Check sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and Home Detector sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Room Check holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Room Check has 106 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
