Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Square Go at 84% against HomeGoods's 6%. Square Go also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Square Go holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Go has 185K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 6% of HomeGoods's written reviews are positive against 84% of Square Go's.
HomeGoods ships an update every 2 months, Square Go fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
