Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Home + Security at none against EventTick's 1. Home + Security also leads on ads (none vs shown). EventTick's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
