Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShareMyToolbox at none against itemit's 19. ShareMyToolbox also leads on ratings volume (296 vs 4) and review sentiment (85% vs 76%). itemit's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

itemit holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShareMyToolbox has 296 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of itemit's written reviews are positive against 85% of ShareMyToolbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

itemit ships an update every 3 weeks, ShareMyToolbox fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
