Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Yale Access at Free against PasswordWallet's $5.99. Yale Access also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (77K vs 85). PasswordWallet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (71% vs 41%). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Yale Access is free to download; PasswordWallet costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Yale Access holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yale Access has 77K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of PasswordWallet's written reviews are positive against 41% of Yale Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PasswordWallet ships an update every 3 months, Yale Access fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
