The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BroadLinkCamera at none against Security Home's 7. BroadLinkCamera also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Security Home's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
