Apartment hunting turns into a mess. Twenty browser tabs, a spreadsheet you keep meaning to update, and two days later you cannot remember which place had the good kitchen. PadPipe keeps every apartment you are thinking about in one place. PASTE A LINK Copy any listing from Zillow, Redfin, Apartments.com, Domu or Zumper and drop it in. PadPipe reads the page and keeps the address, the rent, the beds, the size, the amenities and every photo — so it is still there after the listing is gone. SEE WHAT IT REALLY COSTS Two places at "$2,400" are rarely the same price. PadPipe adds the monthly fees and the utilities you pay, takes off any free month, spreads the move-in money across the lease, and sorts your list by that number instead of the sticker. MINUTES, NOT "CLOSE TO TRANSIT" Every place shows the walk to the train, the grocery store and any address you save — your office, your gym, your parents. It all feeds one score built from what you said matters. TRACK THE WHOLE HUNT Move places from lead to shortlist to toured to applied as things happen. Write notes while you are standing in the kitchen, not four hours later. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your list is yours. No ads, no lead selling, and no agent gets your number because you saved their listing. SUBSCRIPTION PadPipe Monthly — $4.99 per month, after a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. It renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it any time in Settings > your name > Subscriptions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ScreenFree at freemium against PadPipe's subscription. ScreenFree also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). PadPipe's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, 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. ScreenFree sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and PadPipe sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for ScreenFree against 5.0 for PadPipe. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScreenFree has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ScreenFree ships an update every 2 weeks, PadPipe every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
