Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Intracoastal Home Search holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Intracoastal Home Search has 698 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Intracoastal Home Search's written reviews are positive against 100% of Riverlights's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
