# Advanced Security & Cleaner vs Security Master

The clearest difference is ads: Advanced Security & Cleaner at none against Security Master's shown. Advanced Security & Cleaner also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 55%). Security Master's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 251). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Advanced Security & Cleaner sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Security Master sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Advanced Security & Cleaner against 4.4 for Security Master. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Master has 4K ratings behind it against 251, so its average is the more settled of the two.
