Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SecureSafe Password Manager at none against Nimbus Note's 2. SecureSafe Password Manager also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (19K vs 400). Nimbus Note's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SecureSafe Password Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SecureSafe Password Manager has 19K ratings behind it against 400, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of SecureSafe Password Manager's written reviews are positive against 75% of Nimbus Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SecureSafe Password Manager ships an update every 2 months, Nimbus Note fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
