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.
baseus Security holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: baseus Security has 127 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of ELEGRP HOME's written reviews are positive against 28% of baseus Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ELEGRP HOME ships an update every 2 months, baseus Security every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
