Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Security Home at 4.3 against YI Home +'s 3.4. Security Home also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 153). YI Home +'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
