The call

The clearest difference is rating: VAULTEK 2.0 at 2.0 against FC SmartHome's 1.7. VAULTEK 2.0 also leads on ratings volume (84 vs 15). FC SmartHome's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
