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 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Firewalla has 736 ratings behind it against 2, 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 FortiEDR'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, FortiEDR every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
