Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Total Connect 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Total Connect 2.0 has 291K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Total Connect 2.0's written reviews are positive against 50% of iSecure Alarm Security App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Total Connect 2.0 ships an update monthly, iSecure Alarm Security App every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
