# Guardian Firewall + VPN vs Secure Data

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Secure Data at 100% against Guardian Firewall + VPN's 46%. Guardian Firewall + VPN's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (869 vs 30). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Guardian Firewall + VPN sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Secure Data sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Guardian Firewall + VPN holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Guardian Firewall + VPN has 869 ratings behind it against 30, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Guardian Firewall + VPN's written reviews are positive against 100% of Secure Data's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
