Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OMTake at none against Homeguardlink's shown. OMTake also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). Homeguardlink's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
