# Lionic Mobile Security vs AVO

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.

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.
