Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Model Inventory at none against Home Log's 1. Model Inventory also leads on rating (3.1 vs 2.7) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 33 months). Home Log's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 24%). On price, ads and device support 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. Home Log sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Model Inventory asks for nothing beyond the download.
Model Inventory holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Model Inventory's written reviews are positive against 33% of Home Log's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Model Inventory ships an update every 4 weeks, Home Log every 33 months. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
