Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: HikCentral Mobile at 4.7 against EZ's 1.9. HikCentral Mobile also leads on ratings volume (276 vs 7) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). EZ's advantage is iOS requirement (6.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HikCentral Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HikCentral Mobile has 276 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of EZ's written reviews are positive against 18% of HikCentral Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EZ ships an update every 3 months, HikCentral Mobile every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
