Verdict
My Verisure and EGLO mycontrol both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of EGLO mycontrol's written reviews are positive against 36% of My Verisure's. EGLO mycontrol also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13). My Verisure's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 25 months) and ratings volume (1K vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
