Verdict

The call

Owlet Dream and Safeview both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Safeview's written reviews are positive against 17% of Owlet Dream's. Safeview also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Owlet Dream's advantage is ratings volume (42K vs 789) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
