Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OmniSecure by SiriusXM Connect at 100% against AHS's 61%. AHS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
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. OmniSecure by SiriusXM Connect sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. AHS asks for nothing beyond the download.
AHS holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AHS has 59K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of AHS's written reviews are positive against 100% of OmniSecure by SiriusXM Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
AHS ships an update fortnightly, OmniSecure by SiriusXM Connect monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
