PTS Dialer's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flock Safety holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flock Safety has 7.8K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of PTS Dialer's written reviews are positive against 57% of Flock Safety's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PTS Dialer ships an update every 2 months, Flock Safety fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
