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. InstaViewSafe sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Tricon Homes asks for nothing beyond the download.
Tricon Homes holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tricon Homes has 8.3K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of InstaViewSafe's written reviews are positive against 12% of Tricon Homes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
InstaViewSafe ships an update every 2 weeks, Tricon Homes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
