Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Alder Mobile at 73% against Homeguardlive's 9%. Alder Mobile also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (632 vs 10). Homeguardlive's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Homeguardlive holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alder Mobile has 632 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Homeguardlive's written reviews are positive against 73% of Alder Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Homeguardlive ships an update every 3 months, Alder Mobile every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
