# DocuShield vs Privacy Protector Pro

The clearest difference is rating: DocuShield at 4.6 against Privacy Protector Pro's 4.0. DocuShield also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (37 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DocuShield sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per 7 days and Privacy Protector Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DocuShield holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DocuShield has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

DocuShield ships an update every 2 weeks, Privacy Protector Pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
