Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hoop Home at none against Zmodo's 10. Hoop Home also leads on rating (2.5 vs 2.0) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Zmodo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.9K vs 2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
