# Hidden Camera Detector vs Security Home

Hidden Camera Detector and Security Home both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 83% of Hidden Camera Detector's written reviews are positive against 19% of Security Home's. Hidden Camera Detector also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Security Home's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 1.9K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hidden Camera Detector sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and Security Home sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Hidden Camera Detector against 4.3 for Security Home. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Home has 11K ratings behind it against 1.9K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 83% of Hidden Camera Detector's written reviews are positive against 19% of Security Home's.

Hidden Camera Detector ships an update monthly, Security Home every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
