# SecureCamera vs HomeGuard

The clearest difference is ratings volume: SecureCamera at 21 against HomeGuard's 1. On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SecureCamera sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and HomeGuard sells 3 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 — 4.9 for SecureCamera against 5.0 for HomeGuard. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecureCamera has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SecureCamera ships an update fortnightly, HomeGuard every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
