Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Valerus at 3.4 against Cisco Security Connector's 2.9. Valerus also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Cisco Security Connector's advantage is review sentiment (11% vs 0%) and ratings volume (31 vs 5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Valerus holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cisco Security Connector has 31 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Valerus's written reviews are positive against 11% of Cisco Security Connector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
