Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Homeguardsmart at 5.0 against myPPC's 1.7. Homeguardsmart also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). myPPC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Homeguardsmart sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. myPPC asks for nothing beyond the download.
Homeguardsmart holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myPPC has 10 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Homeguardsmart's written reviews are positive against 12% of myPPC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Homeguardsmart ships an update every 10 months, myPPC monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
