Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Arlo Secure at 57% against Anker eufy's 16%. Arlo Secure also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (406K vs 71K). Anker eufy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and chart position there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anker eufy sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Arlo Secure sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anker eufy holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Arlo Secure has 406K ratings behind it against 71K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of Anker eufy's written reviews are positive against 57% of Arlo Secure's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anker eufy ships an update fortnightly, Arlo Secure weekly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
