Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hacker Protection,VPN Security at 71% against Avast Mobile Security, Privacy's 54%. Hacker Protection,VPN Security also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). Avast Mobile Security, Privacy's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#167 vs unranked). 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. Avast Mobile Security, Privacy sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Hacker Protection,VPN Security sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Avast Mobile Security, Privacy holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Avast Mobile Security, Privacy has 100K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Avast Mobile Security, Privacy's written reviews are positive against 71% of Hacker Protection,VPN Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Avast Mobile Security, Privacy ships an update every 3 weeks, Hacker Protection,VPN Security every 6 days. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
