Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OurHouse at 4.9 against Chptr's 4.5. OurHouse also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 42) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Chptr's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks). 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.
OurHouse holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OurHouse has 1.3K ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 98% of OurHouse's written reviews are positive against 100% of Chptr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OurHouse ships an update every 3 weeks, Chptr every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
