# HomeSpot vs CastleWise

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CastleWise at 100% against HomeSpot's 33%. CastleWise also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.0) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). HomeSpot's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. HomeSpot sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CastleWise sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
