Public safety professionals need tools that are as mobile as they are. The Axon app was built so law enforcement officers and supervisors can securely view and manage their digital evidence and records anytime, anywhere. The intuitive interface includes a homepage dashboard with quick links to evidence that is missing an ID or category. Officers can use the app to complete evidence workflows while in the field, increasing agency efficiency and data compliance, as well as improving officer satisfaction. Officers can review evidence in the field after the incident, providing investigators with the ability to gain a more complete perspective on how events unfolded. They can also use the app to initiate digital evidence collection by inviting witnesses to submit their photos and videos directly to the agency, ensuring a clean chain of custody. Agencies using Axon Records additionally benefit from the ability to write, submit, and search records from the Axon app. Their homepage dashboard also includes pending records tasks, as well as a quick link to create a new record.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Axon at 4.8 against b's 1.4. Axon also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 30 months). b's advantage is monetization model (free vs subscription) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
