Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Secureye Smart at none against ECOVACS HOME's shown. Secureye Smart also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ECOVACS HOME's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (57K vs 2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Secureye Smart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ECOVACS HOME has 57K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of ECOVACS HOME's written reviews are positive against 50% of Secureye Smart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ECOVACS HOME ships an update every 3 weeks, Secureye Smart every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
