Verdict
CharitableRealty and MLS both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of CharitableRealty's written reviews are positive against 57% of MLS's. CharitableRealty also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). MLS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (11K vs 2). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for CharitableRealty against 4.9 for MLS. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MLS has 11K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of CharitableRealty's written reviews are positive against 57% of MLS's.
CharitableRealty ships an update every 10 months, MLS every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
