# 360 Encrypt vs CryptoFiles

The clearest difference is rating: CryptoFiles at 5.0 against 360 Encrypt's 4.5. CryptoFiles also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). 360 Encrypt's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 360 Encrypt sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and CryptoFiles sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CryptoFiles holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 360 Encrypt has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

360 Encrypt ships an update every 6 weeks, CryptoFiles fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
