The Home Depot app handles home-improvement shopping, in-store product locating, curbside pickup, and order tracking. The closest US swaps are Lowe's and Menards, both major hardware retailers with huge review bases and ratings near 4.8. For DIY inspiration rather than shopping, Hometalk offers project tutorials, while several regional Home Depot apps serve Canada and Mexico.

Shoppers seek Home Depot alternatives when in-store item locations are wrong, curbside bugs appear, or order history crashes, frustrations noted in its own reviews, or simply when they prefer another retailer. The picks below share Home Depot's core job: browsing tools, hardware, and home-improvement products, finding items in store, ordering for pickup or delivery, and tracking purchases. Some are competing big-box hardware stores, others serve international markets or pro contractors, and one focuses on DIY ideas. We ranked these alternatives by embedding similarity against Home Depot's feature set, then weighed each app's live App Store rating and review volume so the order reflects relevance and real shopper sentiment, not marketing claims.

10 alternatives to The Home Depot

    #1Lowe's Home Improvement

    Lowe's Companie's, Inc.

    4.8(1.9M)
    Free
    91% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Lowe's is the closest direct competitor: a full home-improvement store with product browsing, in-store locating, pickup, and order tracking, matching Home Depot's core. Its 4.77 rating across 1.7M reviews makes it a heavily-used, like-for-like alternative.

    How it differs

    Lowe's reviews flag order-handling complaints, including frustration over third-party delivery logistics and poor support on large items, issues distinct from Home Depot's in-store-locating bugs. The catalog and rewards differ, so cross-shopping comes down to price and local store quality.

    Menard, Inc.

    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Menards is a strong regional competitor: a major Midwest home-improvement retailer with product browsing, store features, and rebates, matching Home Depot's hardware-and-supplies shopping. Its 4.8 rating across 192K reviews ties Home Depot, signaling a well-liked app.

    How it differs

    Menards operates only in the Midwest US, so it's an alternative just for shoppers in that region. Its signature rebate program differs from Home Depot's pricing model, and its smaller footprint means it can't replace Home Depot nationwide.

    Why it's similar

    Hometalk complements Home Depot with DIY project tutorials for any skill level, budget, and occasion, supporting the home-improvement projects Home Depot supplies. Its 4.76 rating across 7,659 reviews shows strong engagement from DIYers.

    How it differs

    Hometalk is an inspiration-and-tutorial app, not a store, so it sells nothing and can't replace Home Depot's product catalog, in-store locating, or pickup. It's a companion for project ideas rather than an alternative for buying tools and materials.

    At Home Group Inc.

    4.8(752)

    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    At Home Stores shares Home Depot's loyalty-rewards, order-tracking, and scan-for-info features, with curated recommendations and customer reviews. It appeals to shoppers furnishing and decorating their homes.

    How it differs

    At Home is a home-decor specialist, not a hardware-and-tools store, so it skips the building materials, tools, and project supplies that anchor Home Depot. With only 49 ratings and a 3.41 score, it's a niche decor app rather than a Home Depot substitute.

    Why it's similar

    LEROY MERLIN offers a practical home-improvement shopping experience online and in store with authenticated account features, mirroring Home Depot's shopping-and-project model. It serves DIYers and home renovators in its markets.

    How it differs

    LEROY MERLIN is a European retailer, so its catalog, pricing, and stores serve markets outside the US. With only 180 ratings on this listing it's far smaller here, making it a regional alternative rather than a US Home Depot replacement.

    Why it's similar

    Lowe's Pro Supply targets contractors with mobile ordering, job-site-friendly navigation, and easy repurchasing, overlapping Home Depot's pro-shopping side. It serves professionals who want to shop and reorder supplies on the go.

    How it differs

    Lowe's Pro Supply is built for pro and bulk MRO ordering rather than Home Depot's broad consumer shopping, so its catalog and audience are narrower. Its 3.63 rating across only 57 reviews points to a small, less-polished experience versus Home Depot's main app.

    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    The Home Depot Canada, from Home Depot's Canadian arm, mirrors the US app's shopping, product search, and project-planning features with the same brand and interface. Canadian shoppers get the familiar Home Depot experience tuned to their stores.

    How it differs

    This app serves Canadian customers, so its catalog, pricing, and store locations don't match the US app. With no ratings yet it has no track record, making it irrelevant for US shoppers despite sharing the Home Depot brand.

    Why it's similar

    The Home Depot México, from Home Depot's Mexican operation, offers the same shopping and project-planning tools with barcode scanning to add products fast, mirroring the US app's features for Mexican shoppers.

    How it differs

    This app serves Mexico with a Spanish interface, local catalog, and store network, so it doesn't apply to US shoppers. With no ratings yet it has no track record, making it a regional version rather than a true alternative for US Home Depot users.

    Why it's similar

    The Homestead Supply Company is a mobile shopping app for tools, hardware, and home essentials aimed at homeowners, overlapping Home Depot's product range. It targets DIYers who want a convenient hardware-shopping app.

    How it differs

    Homestead Supply has no ratings yet, so it's untested against Home Depot's massive base. It's a small retailer lacking Home Depot's store network, in-store locating, and curbside pickup, making it an unproven niche option rather than a full replacement.

    Why it's similar

    homechoice covers home shopping with decor, furniture, and deals, overlapping Home Depot's home-goods side for upgrading your living space. It targets shoppers chasing home trends and bargains.

    How it differs

    homechoice is a regional retailer's app with no ratings yet, so it's untested and serves a different market. It focuses on decor and furniture rather than Home Depot's tools, hardware, and building materials, making it a weak fit for home-improvement projects.

How we ranked these 10 alternatives

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 The Home Depot, 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.

Ranking

Apps from The Home Depot's own developer are left out. The 10 most similar of the rest are ordered by App Store rating times the logarithm of their rating count, so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 ratings ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 ratings.
