# iSecurity vs Data Guard

The clearest difference is rating: iSecurity at 4.3 against Data Guard's 4.1. iSecurity also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (5.5K vs 733). Data Guard's advantage is review sentiment (47% vs 38%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iSecurity sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Data Guard sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iSecurity holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iSecurity has 5.5K ratings behind it against 733, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of iSecurity's written reviews are positive against 47% of Data Guard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iSecurity ships an update every 9 days, Data Guard monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
