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.
Etta Homes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Etta Homes has 8K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Etta Homes's written reviews are positive against 62% of Brivity Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Etta Homes ships an update every 6 weeks, Brivity Home every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
