# Home Security Camera vs CodHome

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CodHome at 75% against Home Security Camera's 33%. CodHome also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Home Security Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3.3K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Security Camera sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and CodHome sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CodHome holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Security Camera has 3.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Home Security Camera's written reviews are positive against 75% of CodHome's.
