Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mycam at none against Security Home's 7. Mycam also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Security Home's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
