# Kemo vs Smart Security Camera App

The clearest difference is ads: Smart Security Camera App at none against Kemo's shown. Smart Security Camera App also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Kemo's advantage is ratings volume (92K vs 2.5K) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kemo sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Smart Security Camera App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Kemo against 4.7 for Smart Security Camera App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kemo has 92K ratings behind it against 2.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 17% of Kemo's written reviews are positive against 25% of Smart Security Camera App's.

Kemo ships an update every 3 weeks, Smart Security Camera App every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
