# Self vs Protection 360 HomeTech

The clearest difference is rating: Protection 360 HomeTech at 3.8 against Self's 2.8. Protection 360 HomeTech also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (96 vs 8). Self's advantage is review sentiment (14% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Self sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Protection 360 HomeTech asks for nothing beyond the download.

Protection 360 HomeTech holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Protection 360 HomeTech has 96 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Self's written reviews are positive against 0% of Protection 360 HomeTech's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
