ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Call Control Home holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraud Alert has 20 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Fraud Alert's written reviews are positive against 0% of Call Control Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fraud Alert ships an update every 2 months, Call Control Home every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
