# Device System Services vs Boost Secure Connect

The clearest difference is rating: Device System Services at 4.5 against Boost Secure Connect's 3.4. Device System Services also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ratings volume (394 vs 11). Boost Secure Connect's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Device System Services sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Boost Secure Connect sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
