Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SamuraiSafe Password Manager at none against Keeper Password Manager's 11. SamuraiSafe Password Manager also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). Keeper Password Manager's advantage is ratings volume (229K vs 23) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Keeper Password Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keeper Password Manager has 229K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Keeper Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 86% of SamuraiSafe Password Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Keeper Password Manager ships an update every 3 weeks, SamuraiSafe Password Manager every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
