# Kid Security vs Find Phone

The clearest difference is ads: Find Phone at none against Kid Security's shown. Find Phone also leads on ratings volume (75K vs 317) and chart position (#28 vs unranked). Kid Security's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Kid Security sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Find Phone sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Kid Security holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Find Phone has 75K ratings behind it against 317, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Kid Security's written reviews are positive against 66% of Find Phone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Kid Security ships an update fortnightly, Find Phone every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
