# House on the Hill vs Tree Identifier

The clearest difference is rating: Tree Identifier at 4.2 against House on the Hill's 3.5. Tree Identifier also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (76 vs 4). House on the Hill's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 33%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. House on the Hill sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tree Identifier sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tree Identifier holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tree Identifier has 76 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of House on the Hill's written reviews are positive against 33% of Tree Identifier's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

House on the Hill ships an update every 5 months, Tree Identifier weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
