Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Verisure at 47% against HYLA's 18%. My Verisure also leads on ratings volume (967 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). HYLA's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 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.
HYLA holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Verisure has 967 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of My Verisure's written reviews are positive against 18% of HYLA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Verisure ships an update every 2 weeks, HYLA every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
