TMC Alarm + holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TMC Alarm + has 985 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of iiCanada's written reviews are positive against 41% of TMC Alarm +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iiCanada ships an update every 2 weeks, TMC Alarm + every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
