Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Otis Home at 4.4 against Logi Circle Security Camera's 1.8. Otis Home also leads on ratings volume (292 vs 51) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Logi Circle Security Camera's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Otis Home holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Otis Home has 292 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Logi Circle Security Camera's written reviews are positive against 5% of Otis Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Logi Circle Security Camera ships an update every 2 months, Otis Home every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
