Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Trigger Appy at 100% against Vivint's 22%. Trigger Appy also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). Vivint's advantage is price (Free vs $9.99) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
