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.
Wemo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 118K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 41% of Almond by Securifi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wemo ships an update every 2 months, Almond by Securifi every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
