Verdict

The call

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.
