The Protege Mobile App harnesses the power of the Protege WX and Protege GX systems, enabling you to monitor and control your building while on the go, with the ease and convenience of your smartphone. With the swipe of a finger you can connect to any of your Protege WX or GX sites, check the status, arm or disarm, control lights, locks,signage, heating - even cameras - from anywhere, at any time. View and control: - Doors - Areas - Sensors (Inputs) - Controls (Outputs) - Cameras (select stream types) Control the state of each with a simple click, or long press for advanced functions. No more second guessing whether you set the alarm before you left the office -– the app provides instant awareness of system status, and enables you to arm or disarm with a simple tap. Fumbling for the garage remote becomes a thing of the past as you can use your phone to open the door. And forget about coming home to a cold, dark, unwelcoming apartment. A couple more taps and you have the heating and lights turned on, all from the comfort of your car. Subscribe to push notifications to receive alerts of system or sensor activity. As a parent you get peace of mind to see the system disarmed when the kids return home from school. As a business owner, you see that the system is disarmed at the start of the day, and rearmed when everyone goes home. And of course, you’re alerted promptly of any alarms. Push Notification service automatically configured in WX systems, for GX systems please see the Push Notification Service App note available at www.ict.co Requires: Protege WX Device with internet connection or Protege GX 4.2.181.10 or higher with: - Web Client 1.44.0.17+ - SOAP Service 1.5.0.15+ - internet connection

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tribe Home at none against Protege Mobile's 1. Tribe Home also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). Protege Mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
