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.
CPI Security inTouch holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CPI Security inTouch has 1.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of CPI Security inTouch's written reviews are positive against 50% of CAMS Connects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CPI Security inTouch ships an update every 2 months, CAMS Connects every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
