# AVG Mobile Security vs RoE Handbook

The clearest difference is review sentiment: RoE Handbook at 100% against AVG Mobile Security's 59%. RoE Handbook also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). AVG Mobile Security's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (78K vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AVG Mobile Security sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and RoE Handbook sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RoE Handbook holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AVG Mobile Security has 78K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of AVG Mobile Security's written reviews are positive against 100% of RoE Handbook's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
