Hearthkeep is the private home inventory that's ready the day you need it โ for an insurance claim, a move, or simple peace of mind. PRIVATE โ AND YOU CAN VERIFY IT Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no tracking, no cloud servers. Our App Privacy label is "Data Not Collected," and it's honest: the app makes no analytics or advertising connections at all. PAY ONCE. NO SUBSCRIPTION, EVER. Many home-inventory apps now charge $20โ$190 every year. Hearthkeep is free to use, with a single one-time upgrade if you want unlimited items and the full claim report. That's it. READY FOR A CLAIM If a theft, fire, or flood happened, could you list everything you owned and prove it? Hearthkeep makes it easy to build that record room by room โ then export a claim-ready PDF an adjuster actually accepts, with a photo of each item, make & model, serial number, purchase price, replacement value, and per-room and per-category totals. NEVER STRANDED Cloud apps shut down and lock people out of their own data. Your Hearthkeep inventory lives on your device, with a free, encrypted backup file only you can open. Export a plain CSV anytime, too. Your data is never held hostage. WHAT YOU CAN DO โข Catalog belongings fast: name, brand & model, value, serial number, room, and photos โ with Save & Add Another for a whole room in one sitting. โข Snap a photo or scan a serial/model number right in the app with the camera โ on device โ or add from your library. โข See your home's total value, where it's concentrated, and whether you may be under-insured. โข Export a claim-ready PDF report, or a free CSV spreadsheet. โข Lock the app behind Face ID. Create an encrypted backup, restore it on a new phone, or import a CSV from another app. FREE & PRO Free includes up to 25 items with a photo each, CSV export, encrypted backup, and import. Hearthkeep Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks unlimited items, unlimited photos per item, and the photo-rich claim PDF report. Buy once, keep forever โ nothing to cancel. PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY Add photos with the camera or Apple's secure photo picker โ either way, capture stays on your device, and nothing is uploaded, sold, or shared. Delete the app and every trace of your data goes with it. Build your home inventory today โ privately, once, and ready for whatever comes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barcode Scan at none against Hearthkeep's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
