Cox App by Spectrum holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cox App by Spectrum has 669K ratings behind it against 190, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Cox App by Spectrum's written reviews are positive against 44% of KARR Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cox App by Spectrum ships an update every 3 weeks, KARR Security every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
