Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SiteBrief at free with in-app purchases against HB Construction Estimate Maker's subscription. SiteBrief also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). HB Construction Estimate Maker's advantage is ratings volume (315 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. HB Construction Estimate Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SiteBrief sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SiteBrief holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HB Construction Estimate Maker has 315 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
