# Google vs SecureVault Private Storage

The clearest difference is ads: SecureVault Private Storage at none against Google's shown. Google's advantage is chart position (#1 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Google sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.89 per month and SecureVault Private Storage sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
