# Cryptical vs Password Studio

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Password Studio at none against Cryptical's 4. Password Studio also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Cryptical's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 3). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cryptical sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Password Studio asks for nothing beyond the download.

Password Studio holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cryptical has 3.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cryptical ships an update every 3 months, Password Studio every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
