Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ezzi Home at 5.0 against HomeSense's 4.3. Ezzi Home also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). HomeSense's advantage is ratings volume (80 vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 36%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ezzi Home holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HomeSense has 80 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of HomeSense's written reviews are positive against 36% of Ezzi Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HomeSense ships an update every 5 weeks, Ezzi Home every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
