Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Digital Tech Care at 5.0 against Home Alerts's 4.0. Digital Tech Care also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 22) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). Home Alerts's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
