ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Security Alarm holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Alarm has 526 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Security Alarm's written reviews are positive against 57% of Unplug Alarm Client's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Security Alarm ships an update every 3 weeks, Unplug Alarm Client every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
