Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SkyportHome at 4.7 against iHere 3's 2.3. SkyportHome also leads on ratings volume (32K vs 34). iHere 3's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SkyportHome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyportHome has 32K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of iHere 3's written reviews are positive against 27% of SkyportHome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iHere 3 ships an update fortnightly, SkyportHome every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
