The clearest difference is rating: Firewalla at 4.5 against FireWall Security's 4.0. Firewalla also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (736 vs 11).

Firewalla holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Firewalla has 736 ratings behind it against 11, 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. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and July 23, 2026 respectively.
