      Vivint Alternatives: 10 Similar iPhone Apps in 2026

      By App Store Tracker Editorial · Updated May 25, 2026 — live App Store data verified 1 min ago

      The short version

      First Alert by Resideo is the strongest Vivint alternative for whole-home security and safety, with cameras, smart alarms, and thermostats in one well-rated app. SmartRent is the closest pick if you're in a managed apartment, controlling locks, thermostats, and access codes. Amazon Alexa works as a broad smart-home hub. A few matches here are unrelated (real estate, appliances), so check the fit.

      People look for Vivint alternatives when they want a different security ecosystem, lower cost, or smart-home control beyond Vivint's hardware. Vivint's core job is whole-home security and automation: cameras, locks, thermostats, alarms, and remote control from your phone. The strongest picks below cover that same ground, security and smart-home management, while a few share only loose ties (a real-estate app, an appliance controller) and appear by topic rather than function. We ranked them with embedding similarity against the Vivint app, then weighed live App Store ratings and adoption. The closest security and smart-home apps lead; tangential ones follow, and we flag them clearly. Most depend on specific hardware or a service plan. Ratings and pricing shown next to each app come from the live store.

      10 alternatives to Vivint

      1. 1Vivint Classic icon

        #1Vivint Classic

        Vivint

        2.3(756)
        Free
        91% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Vivint Classic is Vivint's own older app, sharing the same whole-home job: connecting security, HVAC, lighting, video, and appliances through the Go!Control panel.

        How it differs

        The difference is it's the legacy version for older Vivint systems, superseded by the main app. Its rating is low, reflecting an aging experience, so it's the closest match by definition but mainly relevant if your equipment predates the current Vivint app.

        87% similar
        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        First Alert by Resideo shares Vivint's whole-home coverage: monitor and manage video, smart smoke and CO alarms, thermostats, and water-leak detection from one app.

        How it differs

        It runs Resideo, Honeywell Home, and First Alert devices and integrates with other smart-home partners, a different hardware ecosystem than Vivint. It carries a high rating on a solid base, making it one of the best security-and-safety alternatives to Vivint.

        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        Homes.com relates to Vivint only by the broad 'home' theme, not by function.

        How it differs

        It's a real-estate app for buying and renting homes, with no security cameras, locks, or smart-home control at all. Its reviews skew rough among agents. It carries a decent consumer rating, but it's not a Vivint alternative for home security, just a topically adjacent app.

        Get on App Store

        Why it's similar

        SmartHQ shares Vivint's idea of controlling home devices remotely, but for a narrower slice.

        How it differs

        It manages GE and Haier smart appliances (ovens, washers, dryers), not security cameras, alarms, or locks like Vivint. It carries a solid rating on a large base, but reviewers cite connectivity issues. It's an appliance-control alternative rather than a home-security replacement for Vivint.

        Why it's similar

        Amazon Alexa shares Vivint's smart-home control role, managing connected devices, routines, and voice commands across your home.

        How it differs

        It's a broad smart-home hub spanning thousands of compatible devices rather than a dedicated security system with professional monitoring like Vivint. With millions of ratings, it's hugely popular, making it a strong alternative if you want flexible whole-home control over Vivint's security focus.

        Why it's similar

        SmartRent shares Vivint's remote home control: lock and unlock doors, adjust thermostats, set schedules, and issue voice commands from anywhere.

        How it differs

        It's built for managed apartments and rentals, with time-bound access codes for guests and service providers, rather than Vivint's owner-installed security suite. It carries a strong rating on a large base, making it the closest fit if you live in a SmartRent-equipped community.

        Why it's similar

        Vivicom shares some of Vivint's smart-space control, automating access and security for a connected space.

        How it differs

        It adds property-management features like online statements and QR-code visitor access, and it's Spanish-language, focused on a specific market. It has no ratings yet, making it an unproven regional alternative rather than a broad Vivint replacement.

        Why it's similar

        SimplyHome Smart Home shares Vivint's remote-control core: manage keyless locks, smart thermostats, and paired devices from one app.

        How it differs

        It targets homeowners and property managers through its own Tri-Band Hub, a different ecosystem than Vivint's. It carries a high rating on a small base, making it a credible smart-home alternative, especially for managed properties using SimplyHome.

        Why it's similar

        Vivanta relates to Vivint by name only, not by function.

        How it differs

        It's a company-provided health program combining medical diagnostics, wearable data, and daily tracking, with nothing to do with home security or automation. It has a high rating on very few reviews, but it's not a Vivint alternative, just a similarly named health app.

        Why it's similar

        LIV APP VIVRI shares no real overlap with Vivint beyond a similar-sounding name.

        How it differs

        It's a back-office app for VIVRI distributors to track autoship, team volume, and bonuses, a direct-sales business tool, not a smart-home or security app. It has a top rating on just two reviews, making it irrelevant as a Vivint alternative despite appearing in the list.

      How we ranked these 10 alternatives

      Embedding similarity

      Every app in our database carries a dense vector embedding derived from its title, subtitle, full description, and category metadata. To find apps similar to Vivint, we compute cosine distance against every other app and surface the closest 60 candidates. The similarity score shown on each pick is 1 - distance/2 clamped to [0,1] — 100% means the embedding spaces are identical, 0% means orthogonal.

      Re-ranking signals

      We then re-rank the candidate set using current App Store rating and review-count signals so a 4.8-star app with 100,000 reviews ranks above a 4.5-star app with 200 reviews even when their embedding distance is similar. Apps that haven't shipped an update in 12 months are filtered out before re-ranking.

      Refresh cadence

      The similarity cache is recomputed weekly. Live App Store data (rating, review count) is verified every 6 hours.
