# Raivo vs Padloc

The clearest difference is rating: Raivo at 4.4 against Padloc's 3.6. Raivo also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (181 vs 10). Padloc's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raivo sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Padloc asks for nothing beyond the download.

Raivo holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raivo has 181 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Raivo's written reviews are positive against 41% of Padloc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Raivo ships an update every 10 days, Padloc every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
