Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: apiALARM at 4.7 against Civello's 1.0. apiALARM also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). Civello's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (11 vs 17.0). 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.
apiALARM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: apiALARM has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Civello's written reviews are positive against 29% of apiALARM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Civello ships an update every 29 months, apiALARM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
