Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 1Password at 4.7 against EquateAccess's 1.3. 1Password also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 1%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). EquateAccess's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (14 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
