Your Tesla detects a Sentry Mode event. SentryAlert alerts you in real time and lets you respond. The Tesla app does not notify you of every Sentry Mode event. SentryAlert alerts you in real time, from a detected threat through a triggered alarm. SentryAlert is built around Sentry Mode: receive real-time alerts when an event is detected and respond from your iPhone. What the app does • Sentry Mode alerts A real-time alert when your Tesla detects a Sentry Mode event. • Riposte A Riposte action sounds the horn and then flashes the headlights while an alert is active. From the notification, the Riposte button opens the affected vehicle with Riposte ready; a two-second press is required to confirm the action. • Automatic headlight response Off by default. If you choose to enable it for a vehicle, SentryAlert can automatically flash the headlights for certain Sentry Mode events. Like Riposte, this feature requires the Tesla authorization needed to send vehicle commands. Receiving alerts does not require that authorization. • Event history Your alerts remain available in the activity feed. • Several vehicles Watch one or more vehicles from the same account. How an alert reaches you When your Tesla reports a Sentry Mode event, SentryAlert processes it and sends a real-time notification to your iPhone, including when the app is closed or the phone is locked. What you need A Tesla account connected to SentryAlert and Sentry Mode enabled in your vehicle. Your Tesla connection You sign in through Tesla's official interface, so your Tesla password is never typed into SentryAlert. Tesla authorizations are used for the features you enable. You can delete your account and its data from the app. Available in 15 languages. Subscriptions SentryAlert is free to try for 7 days. After the trial, a subscription is required to continue using the service. Three plans are available: Solo for 1 vehicle, Duo for 2, Garage for up to 5. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Renewal is charged to your Apple account. Subscriptions are managed and can be cancelled at any time in the App Store settings. SentryAlert is an independent application and is not affiliated with Tesla, Inc.

SentryAlert for Tesla's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
