Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Genasys Protect at every 5 weeks against My Davis's every 5 months. Genasys Protect also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 3) and review sentiment (11% vs 0%). My Davis's advantage is rating (3.0 vs 2.7) and device support (3 vs 1). 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My Davis holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Genasys Protect has 91 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of My Davis's written reviews are positive against 11% of Genasys Protect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Davis ships an update every 5 months, Genasys Protect every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
