# Mycam vs Security Home

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.

Both are free to download. Security Home sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Mycam asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Mycam against 4.3 for Security Home. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Home has 11K ratings behind it against 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Mycam's written reviews are positive against 19% of Security Home's.

Mycam ships an update every 3 weeks, Security Home every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
