Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CloudEdge at 64% against Home Security's 17%. CloudEdge also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. CloudEdge sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Home Security sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CloudEdge holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudEdge has 21K ratings behind it against 2.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of CloudEdge's written reviews are positive against 17% of Home Security's.
CloudEdge ships an update every 2 weeks, Home Security every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
