Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Septilink at free against ADT+'s free with in-app purchases. ADT+'s advantage is ratings volume (64K vs 5) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Septilink holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ADT+ has 64K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ADT+ ships an update monthly, Septilink fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
