Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Vector Security at 4.7 against EIQ Connect's 3.5. Vector Security also leads on ratings volume (9K vs 18). EIQ Connect's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vector Security holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vector Security has 9K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Vector Security's written reviews are positive against 38% of EIQ Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Vector Security ships an update every 2 months, EIQ Connect fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
