# 360 Smart Camera vs Security Home

The clearest difference is rating: Security Home at 4.3 against 360 Smart Camera's 3.3. Security Home also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11K vs 363). 360 Smart Camera's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 360 Smart Camera sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Security Home sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Security Home holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Home has 11K ratings behind it against 363, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of 360 Smart Camera's written reviews are positive against 19% of Security Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

360 Smart Camera ships an update every 6 weeks, Security Home every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
