# Stash Password Manager vs PassGuard

The clearest difference is rating: PassGuard at 5.0 against Stash Password Manager's 4.3. PassGuard also leads on ads (none vs shown). Stash Password Manager's advantage is ratings volume (10 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stash Password Manager sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and PassGuard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.19 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PassGuard holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stash Password Manager has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
