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. Advanced Secure sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Artika asks for nothing beyond the download.
Advanced Secure holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Artika has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Advanced Secure's written reviews are positive against 45% of Artika's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Advanced Secure ships an update every 12 months, Artika every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
