Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Home Security at 4.4 against Conico's 2.0. Home Security also leads on ratings volume (874 vs 118) and review sentiment (24% vs 13%). Conico's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
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. Conico sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Home Security sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Home Security holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Security has 874 ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of Conico's written reviews are positive against 24% of Home Security's.
Conico ships an update every 2 weeks, Home Security every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
