Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: LiveHome at free with in-app purchases against Security Home's subscription. LiveHome also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Security Home's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 3.3K). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
