Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Security Home at 4.3 against HomeEye's 2.2. Security Home also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 40). HomeEye's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
