Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Shafter Mobile holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KARR Security has 192 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Shafter Mobile's written reviews are positive against 44% of KARR Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shafter Mobile ships an update every 8 months, KARR Security every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
