Alternatives to Lowe's Home Improvement

Best Lowe's Home Improvement Alternatives in 2026

By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated — App Store ratings fetched to

The short version

The Lowe's app handles shopping, in-store item location, pickup, and delivery for home improvement, though reviewers report rough delivery scheduling and inventory accuracy. The clear top alternative is The Home Depot, the most-used home-improvement app with a 4.82 rating and excellent in-store item finding. Lowe's own Pro Supply and Provider apps serve contractors. Several other picks are grocery chains or international DIY stores that just share the Lowe's name or category. Pick by whether you want a US home-improvement retailer.

People look for Lowe's app alternatives when delivery scheduling frustrates them, inventory looks inaccurate, or they want to compare prices and stock at a competitor. Lowe's reviewers love in-store convenience but cite third-party delivery hassles and orders that force pickup. The picks here share the seed's purpose: shop home-improvement products, check store stock, locate items by aisle, and arrange pickup or delivery. Some are direct rivals, others are Lowe's pro tools, and a few are grocery or overseas DIY apps that surfaced by name or category. We ranked them by embedding similarity to the Lowe's app, then weighed live App Store ratings and review volume, flagging the off-target ones.

10 alternatives to Lowe's Home Improvement

    #1The Home Depot

    The Home Depot, Inc.

    4.8(3.5M)
    Free
    91% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    The Home Depot is the clear top alternative, the most-reviewed home-improvement app here with a 4.82 rating across 3,200,000+ reviews. It excels at the seed's core: search store inventory, find items by aisle and bay, see app-only sales, and arrange pickup or delivery.

    How it differs

    Reviewers note bugs too, like a curbside check-in showing invalid date errors and inventory counts that do not always match shelves, mirroring the seed's accuracy gripes. The product range and pricing differ from Lowe's, so deals and stock vary store to store.

    GROUPE ADEO

    4.7(266)
    Free
    89% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    LEROY MERLIN offers a full home-improvement catalog of 300,000+ products and services across garden, kitchen, bathroom, flooring, electrical, and tools, with online and in-store shopping, closely matching Lowe's breadth. Its 4.72 rating is strong.

    How it differs

    Leroy Merlin is a European DIY chain, so its stores, pricing, and stock are irrelevant for US shoppers. With just 180 ratings here, it is region-specific and cannot fulfill orders for Lowe's US customers.

  3. 3Lowe's Market icon

    Pay and Save, Inc.

    3.8(324)

    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Lowe's Market shares the Lowe's name and offers digital coupons, weekly deal notifications, and savings for loyal shoppers, echoing the seed's deal-and-rewards convenience.

    How it differs

    Lowe's Market is a Texas-based grocery chain, completely unrelated to Lowe's Home Improvement despite the name. It sells food, not building materials or tools, so it shares nothing with the seed beyond a coincidental brand name.

  4. 4Lowe's Pro Supply icon

    Lowe's Companies, Inc.

    3.6(64)

    92% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Lowe's Pro Supply is Lowe's own app for trades, with mobile ordering, job-site-friendly navigation, easy repurchasing, and lists, covering the same shopping and reordering Lowe's users do but tuned for pros.

    How it differs

    It targets professional MRO and contractor supply rather than the general consumer catalog of the main Lowe's app. Its 3.63 rating across just 57 reviews reflects a narrow, newer tool, and it lacks the broad in-store features of the seed.

  5. 5Lowe's Provider icon

    Lowe's Companies, Inc.

    Why it's similar

    Lowe's Provider is Lowe's app for installers and crews, with a dashboard, schedule, job and product details, and the ability to close jobs on the go, sharing the Lowe's ecosystem and product data.

    How it differs

    This is a workforce tool for Lowe's installation PROviders, not a shopping app, so it offers no browsing, pickup, or delivery for customers. With only 19 ratings, it serves a tiny professional audience unrelated to the seed's retail use.

    Why it's similar

    Lindley's Grocery offers coupons, sales flyers, shopping lists, and aisle-based offer alerts, sharing the deal-and-list shopping-companion features Lowe's users tap for savings.

    How it differs

    Lindley's is a grocery-store companion app, not a home-improvement retailer, so it sells food and has no building materials, tools, or store-item location for hardware. It shares only the broad shopping category with the seed, not its actual purpose.

    Why it's similar

    The Home Depot Canada lets you research and buy tens of thousands of home-improvement products with in-store availability and reviews, mirroring the seed's shop-and-check-stock experience from a major rival.

    How it differs

    This app serves Canadian stores, pricing, and inventory, so US shoppers cannot order from it. With no App Store ratings yet, its reliability here is unproven, and it is the wrong region for Lowe's US customers.

    Why it's similar

    homechoice targets home upgrades and décor with trusted brands and flexible payment plans, sharing Lowe's home-improvement-and-furnishing shopping focus and deal notifications.

    How it differs

    homechoice is a South African home-and-décor retailer built around credit installments, not a US hardware store, so its catalog and financing differ entirely. It has no ratings yet and is region-specific, making it irrelevant to the seed's US audience.

    Why it's similar

    B&Q covers the same DIY-and-garden ground as Lowe's, letting you browse home and garden products, build wish lists, store a Club card, and shop kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms in one place.

    How it differs

    B&Q is a UK chain owned by Kingfisher, so its stores, pricing, and stock are British and unavailable to US shoppers. With no App Store ratings yet, it is unproven here and the wrong region for Lowe's customers.

    Why it's similar

    Leroy Merlin: DIY Shopping offers 150,000+ products across DIY, décor, bathroom, kitchen, construction, hardware, and garden with secure mobile shopping, matching Lowe's wide home-improvement catalog and project focus.

    How it differs

    This edition serves South Africa, so its stores and pricing do not apply to US shoppers. With a single rating, it is brand-new and region-locked, making it unusable as a Lowe's alternative in the US.

Embedding similarity

Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Lowe's Home Improvement, we compute cosine distance against every other app and keep the closest 30. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.
