# SimpleLogin vs Optery

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SimpleLogin at 84% against Optery's 37%. SimpleLogin also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.6) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 78). Optery's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
