Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Securly Home at 4.6 against MyScouting's 2.3. Securly Home also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 17%) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 120). MyScouting's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Securly Home holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Securly Home has 1.5K ratings behind it against 120, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 17% of MyScouting's written reviews are positive against 46% of Securly Home's.
MyScouting ships an update weekly, Securly Home every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
