# Home Security Camera vs Home V

The clearest difference is rating: Home Security Camera at 4.6 against Home V's 4.2. Home Security Camera also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 368). Home V's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Security Camera sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Home V sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Home Security Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Security Camera has 3.3K ratings behind it against 368, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Home Security Camera's written reviews are positive against 50% of Home V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Home Security Camera ships an update every 2 weeks, Home V every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
