Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Firewalla at every 6 weeks against FireWall Security's every 19 months. Firewalla also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (751 vs 12). FireWall Security's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Firewalla holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Firewalla has 751 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Firewalla's written reviews are positive against 100% of FireWall Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Firewalla ships an update every 6 weeks, FireWall Security every 19 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
