# PIX vs Security Home

The clearest difference is rating: Security Home at 4.3 against PIX's 1.8. Security Home also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 73). PIX's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Security Home sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. PIX asks for nothing beyond the download.

Security Home holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Home has 11K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 4% of PIX's written reviews are positive against 19% of Security Home's.

PIX ships an update fortnightly, Security Home every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
