# 1Password vs EquateAccess

The clearest difference is rating: 1Password at 4.7 against EquateAccess's 1.3. 1Password also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (44K vs 225). 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.
