Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Crait at 4.7 against SecEMS's 3.8. Crait also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 63%) and ratings volume (94 vs 17). SecEMS's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SecEMS sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Crait sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Crait holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crait has 94 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of SecEMS's written reviews are positive against 81% of Crait's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
