# Security vs Virtuo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Virtuo at 75% against Security's 12%. Virtuo also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Security's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (132 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Security holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security has 132 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Security's written reviews are positive against 75% of Virtuo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Security ships an update every 4 months, Virtuo every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
