# Gengou vs Password Manager

The clearest difference is rating: Password Manager at 4.6 against Gengou's 3.8. Password Manager also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (34 vs 4). Gengou's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $2.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Gengou costs $0.99 and Password Manager $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Password Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Password Manager has 34 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Gengou's written reviews are positive against 65% of Password Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Gengou ships an update every 30 months, Password Manager every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
