# emberconnect vs Home Security

The clearest difference is rating: Home Security at 3.9 against emberconnect's 1.7. Home Security also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 16). emberconnect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Security sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. emberconnect asks for nothing beyond the download.

Home Security holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.7.
