Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Security Home at 4.3 against Sight Bulb's 2.8. Security Home also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 123). Sight Bulb's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
