Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Home + Security at 69% against ChargerSync's 7%. Home + Security also leads on ratings volume (379 vs 38) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). ChargerSync's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ChargerSync holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home + Security has 379 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Home + Security's written reviews are positive against 7% of ChargerSync's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Home + Security ships an update every 4 weeks, ChargerSync every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
