# Home Security vs Security Camera

The clearest difference is update cadence: Security Camera at every 3 weeks against Home Security's every 9 months. Home Security's advantage is review sentiment (17% vs 0%) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 132). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Security sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Security Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 3.9 for Home Security against 3.8 for Security Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Security has 2.2K ratings behind it against 132, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 17% of Home Security's written reviews are positive against 0% of Security Camera's.

Home Security ships an update every 9 months, Security Camera every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
