Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: It'sMyTown at 82% against EMC Security's 41%. It'sMyTown also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). EMC Security's advantage is ratings volume (5.3K vs 27) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
EMC Security holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EMC Security has 5.3K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of It'sMyTown's written reviews are positive against 41% of EMC Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
It'sMyTown ships an update every 2 months, EMC Security every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
