# Home Security Camera® vs PoolCheck

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PoolCheck at 100% against Home Security Camera®'s 14%. PoolCheck also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7). Home Security Camera®'s advantage is ratings volume (458 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Security Camera® sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and PoolCheck sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
