# SafeNation vs myKCMO

The clearest difference is rating: SafeNation at 3.8 against myKCMO's 2.1. SafeNation also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.6). myKCMO's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (86 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

SafeNation holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myKCMO has 86 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of SafeNation's written reviews are positive against 9% of myKCMO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SafeNation ships an update every 19 months, myKCMO every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
