AVO protects your iPhone from malware sites, phishing links and scams, and tells you when your email shows up in a data breach. MALWARE & PHISHING PROTECTION (WEB SHIELD) Web Shield blocks known malware, phishing, scam and tracking sites before they load, in every app and browser. It runs as a secure VPN through AVO's server, which checks each website address against threat lists updated every day, and shows you how many it blocked. A Family filter also blocks adult sites. We never store the sites you visit, and secure (HTTPS) pages stay unreadable to us. WHY NOT A TRADITIONAL ANTIVIRUS? iOS doesn't let any app scan your other apps or files, so a classic antivirus or virus scan isn't possible on iPhone. AVO protects you where threats actually reach an iPhone: harmful websites, phishing links, scam messages, weak settings and leaked passwords. SECURITY CHECKUP & SCORE A 30-second checkup looks at your iPhone's own settings: iOS updates, passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, Wi-Fi and more. You get a Security Score from 0 to 100 and step-by-step guides for anything worth fixing. LINK CHECKER & QR SCANNER Paste a link, scan a QR code or share a link from Safari or Messages. AVO checks it against Google Web Risk and look-alike tricks, and tells you whether it looks safe, suspicious or harmful before you open it. AI SCAM CHECKER Got a message about a parcel, a bank or a prize? Paste it in and AVO's AI looks for the usual scam signs, such as false urgency, payment requests and fake links, and explains what it found. Messages are not stored. EMAIL BREACH CHECK & MONITORING See if your email appears in known data breaches, what was exposed and what to do next. Email Monitoring checks up to 4 addresses every day and alerts you when a new breach includes one. Breach data from Have I Been Pwned. WI-FI SCAN See whether the network you're on is password protected, with tips for staying safe on public Wi-Fi. FREE AND AVO PRO The Security Checkup, fix guides and Wi-Fi Scan are free, and you can try a link check, a scam check and an email breach check for free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: AVO at 4.6 against Lionic Mobile Security's 4.0. AVO also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 12 months). Lionic Mobile Security's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Lionic Mobile Security sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month and AVO sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
AVO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AVO has 281 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Lionic Mobile Security's written reviews are positive against 97% of AVO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lionic Mobile Security ships an update every 12 months, AVO every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
